2.I am wondering why evolve (sal) did not give you the proper tune from the beginning? Why would there even be a tune that is "better" than the one you had? Shouldn't you have gotten the best product from the beginning? And if there really is a better tune than how much difference could there be between his 2 tunes? SOmething is not adding up.

Poeple expect too much out of a tune. For decades and every car forum, tunes and cold air intakes and exhaust consistently promise gains and consistently disapointing buyers. Its like clockwork. Dating back to the 70s! The ONLY consistent gain is with removing primary cats-every car consistently sees a gain. Tunes on these cars do NOT increase real performance.

Ok, dude, seriously?

1. Wrong. This has been proven time and time again.
2. Wrong again. Altitude.

The fact that Sal was willing to sit down and work with a customer using an iPhone accelerometer app to measure power increases with a non repeatable and very in-exact measurement says that Evolve really cares and does right by people.
