The difference between custom tuning and stock is amazingly noticeable.

Justin got my tunes within 3 weeks as well, the dealer had unknowingly re-flashed my computer. Emailed Justin the new strategy code and he emailed the updated tunes within 2 days.

I've been running the 93 performance tune ever since.

What 3 tunes did you go with?

Yea theres a much noticed difference then stock. The shifting at WOT is way better and under normal driving conditions. Launching is much better also. The needle moves through the RPMS a lot faster too. Took me a month to get my tunes had a few issues at first but now there worked out.

Very noticable difference between stock and performance tune.

It only took him like 4 or 5 days from order to Xcal with custom tunes. You will love your VMP tunes.

You'll see a difference between the performance and mileage tune

I noticed it mainly in the shift points

There will also be increase power but to me it wasn't a night and day difference.

Yeah you may notice a difference, but as Ace says, it won't be a night and day difference. It's like when I switch between my 87 and 92 octane performance tunes form Troyer. I do notice a difference, but it's not a huge difference.
