Definatley. Even if you had a totally stock engine, it could still benefit from a good tune. The stock fuel tables are on the rich side, and the timing tables are conservative. You can also pick up some mileage, and have some extra power also. Depending on your combo, you can set your TCC tables to better suit your preferance. You will have complete control on your tune up.

Where is Ed Wright located? I'm looking to find a guy to tune my ECM as well.

Thanks,
