my idea of a tune is a pcm tune, that is all the car has. so the car responds better than a civic to a tune.

and for the record the boost was upped 4psi not 12

the car is tuned the exact same way every other car i have owned from mustangs to corvettes, you make a file upload via a tuner

there is no magic there, but the car responds better

n/a cars on average will pick up 5 to 15 from a tune
super charged cars usually 20-40
turbo cars 40-60

there is more in the programming than just boost, there is also torque management in the trans to help the launch, bumping the rev limiter, etc..

and to be honest, there is quite a bit left in the car too

so, if you know of a better way to define a tune, please let me know
