The tune is fine. Its not the best but its not the worst. I have driving with a Mika tune...

for a couple years now. I just dont recommend using a n75 with it.

Those two different worlds... Mika software upgrades are $29 which is nice.

034 will provide the expandability for future upgrades/changes.

Even higher, mine held find at about 530 and hope to be making 550+ in a few days.

not sure what javad runs in his car which makes over 700whp now.

i was about to say that you can take them much higher...

Javad has the load spread out over 5-cylinders instead of 4. But I don't doubt that Pauters would last beyond that power in a 4-cylinder.

Well at this point my car and his car should be pretty close for whp per cylinder.

I think Issam(wizard) is looking to make 600+whp but with a stroked/bored ABA.

Yes I agree with you, Mike.

Even when I asked Scat the power limit of their rods, they kind of laughed and told me to try to break them. I think Issam will be just fine.

LOL, if a company told me that I would push it hard enough to find out.

Then tell them they owe me a new block when "their" rod snaps and exits the block.

1.8T is 170 HP. and in extreme heat, loses HP. IF the temp is like 20 out, can it gain over stock?
