51k Miles.....Tune???
Have almost 52k miles on my 11. Car is a 6sp man, axleback with mag res. X-pipe, CAI and ported TB. Runs like a bat out of hail in the winter when the air is cold. I can feel the decrease in warm weather. The car is now out of warranty, should I get a tune? What are the dangers? Don't want to do anything to aggrivate the shiddy timing chains. How much HP can I expect, can I detune and retune on demand. Just don't want to hurt it because it does currently run really good but why settle for less when I can fasterer.

These things knock like crazy on the stock tune. Will is the man when it comes to tuning these cars. He might actually make the car safer to run, and not rely on the knock sensors to pull timing after it detonates wrong. He'll get it running right from the start.

I wish I didn't wait so long to start tuning with Will. After I scanned my stock tune and ran logs, it was scary how bad it was.

I ran exclusively 93 since I purchased the car with only 33 miles on the odometer. Thing was knocking like crazy on 93, the tune just seems to want the knock sensors to do all of the adjustments.
I really think tuning these things are a great idea. Pull some timing away from it, let it be safer and not just let the knock dictate the tuning.
