Well you guys enjoy wasting your money on this. Remember sleepyca was the one who gave you the tranny reset-and yet he is a moron huh? What is the most viewed and used thread ever-yes you guessed it so before you call people morons why dont you actually look at their knowledge base and ask the RPI people to step up to the plate-do you all believe anything you are told. Ok guys go spend 500 bucks for that 25 hp on your 545s/550s! Enjoy that

Got your scoop? Now get your tune on with our Ram Air performance tunes.
525: 12-16hp gain
530: 15-20hp gain
545: 18-23hp gain
550: 18-23hp gain
All tunes are $490
What is this saying then-where do you not see "20 hp gain" listed? I see it pretty clearly listed her for even the 530 which is ludicrous.
Either way this is bad info.
1. If it is implying that you have a scoop already and you get this tune-you will get these hp numbers. Which as I keep saying you do not need a tune to maximize a scoop so why say this in the first line
2. If this simply means a tune alone will give you this power-then it is still clearly off because like you admit no tune is going to do this.
I should have been more specific to state things in p percentages-an m5 has 500hp so 10 hp is 2 percnet gain v. 20 hp on 250 or 300 8 percent or so. I will give you that with 500hp an ecu tune can give you 10 or maybe 15 hp. It is all relative to what you begin with. I will say there is no way to squeeze more than 2 percent more hp out of any NA engine that is maximally tuned.
So instead of getting all defensive, why not educate me since I may be in the wrong. I atleast am not understanding the benefit of this tune. If a scoop alone gives you 5-7 hp then this is saying with the tune you will get the listed numbers agove-so how does that happen with this scoop? How does your stock ecu not fully compensate for an air scoop that is increasing oxygen by decently small amounts compared to FI obviously? Just curious you may be more an expert than me?
And ifu you admit to it being unlikely to make 20 hp then why are you not agreeing with me that these numbers are a fraud because no tune will give you these numbers on AN engines.
I dont know if we are disagreeing as you stated both that the scoop does not need a tune for maximum benefit and the ecu tune will not produce more than 10 hp. Where is the disagreement

BTW, thanks sleepyca for the tranny reset trick, that was one solid contribution to the forums. It's unfortunate that you haven't learned how to post with a little more tact and avoid the personal attacks. I can't speak for the admins but if I were a betting man, I'd say that if it weren't for those types of attacks, you probably would have never been banned... :thumbsdown:

Sorry for the late replies. What exactly do you want me to do to "step up to the plate?" I am RPI so dont take what others are saying to be from me. If you want me to step up to the plate, explain how you want me to do so. Want to set up a run with a stock car and one with a tune? Come on. We can all have a constructive discussion without getting stupid.
