I expect power; esp cause these tunes are @ 1,000 which IMO is ALOT of money for a little gained. I have ECUtek on my last car (tuned by Sean Ivey himself) for half of that.

One of the reasons I went with BPM is because of the way Mike stresses that the tune stays within safe parameters. As far as cost, I wasn't thrilled about laying out $1k for 20hp, but what intrigued me was how every reviewer said it "smoothed" out the power delivery which IMO was subpar right out of the box. I don't have that stepped powerband any more and what I mean by that is in stock form the car accelerates but there is no feeling of torque until 3k and really doesn't get going until 4k. With the tune it just pulls evenly and progressively and with much more torque below 3k. If you're buying a $60k car, spending $1k to make it drive *IMO* SO MUCH better is not really a stretch.
