Maybe, but ...
There's only one way to find out for sure.

Why is it when people get tunes, they almost never do a baseline/before??? You’ll never know what if anything the tune did without it. And to add a little more pessimism a well known industry tuner told me some time ago that many tunes do little more than adjust throttle input sensitivity to give the impression of more power.

Just for the record. The date on that dyno run was in 2014. I sold the car in 2016; so it is all ancient history to me now and makes no difference to me.

Default New Product Announcement!

From the Company's News Release. Introducing the new ButtDynoJet 5000!

ButtDynoJet has finally cracked the market on seat-of-the-pants power measurement. Many moons ago, we bought our very first used dyno, which crapped out within a few years. At the tail end of 2019, we upgraded our ButtDynoJet, the industry standard, because were were bummed out by its lack of portability.

"I have certainly been aware of butt dyno technology for years," explains ButtDynoJet President Ben Dover. "I've also seen some of the claimed gains from other so-called performance parts and custom ECU tunes that we suspect were being pulled straight out of the manufacturers' butt dyno. We're all about proving real power and delivering true performance. However, from what I've seen of the new ButtDynoJet 5000's calibration algorithms, I think the dubious results of the past are behind us."

With our brand-new ButtDynoJet 5000, we're now able to get to the bottom of power gains without all the tedious work of strapping the back end to the rollers. Rest assured, this new setup will help you realize the most power from your posterior.

Stay tuned for the runs! .

P.S. You really should look into it!

Due diligence by prospective ButtDynoJet customer.



I know, enough already. Sorry, it must be a Coronavirus symptom.
