Benefit From Tune

[dandaman15]

I have a 07 2.2 and pretty much my only mods are Injen sri with a velocity stack, and 2.4 intake manifold. If I got Trifecta or HPT tune, would I really notice it that much. I did lose a bit of the nice torque I had with the 2.2 intake and many said you can get that back some what. I know without an exhaust I wont be making that much more power but I could get my low/mid range power back I would be more than happy. Also would getting tuned for 93 help that much? The stock exhaust kind of limits me but a tune is cheaper and Ill probably leave it this way untill Im done with school.

tune definitely brings back a bunch of the midrange drivability. killing the PE delay is key

Couldn't have said it better myself

Thanks guys! I think I know what my next mod may be...

Another nice thing about a tune on a 2.2 is revving a little bit higher. With the 2.4 manifolds power shift, revving to 7k or so keeps you in the when you shift.

I ran 93 even before i got tuned or boost, it recommended in the owners manual. I noticed a second or a half off in the 1/4

PE Delay is the biggest advantage of getting a tune, really changed the character of the car from a boring commuter to something with a bit of pep.

like stated, Pe delay kill is what you will notice the most...wont do a whole lot on its own as far as peak power goes, but it sure will help when you put the pedal down...

I would get a exhaust first then go for the tune

Agreed, the stock 2.2 manifold and cat are very restrictive. Made a huge difference on mine from about 2,500 and up when I switched to a stock supercharged exhaust. You'd be surprised how cheap you can pick up used exhaust.
