My Ride: A Car faster than yours.....
Let me clear up a few things.
1. Your ecu HAS to be reflashed and yes, it will wipe out current tunes
2. Your ECU must be sent to our facility in Paramount, regardless of who the tune was purchased from.
3. Typically, there is a 1 day turnaround but because of scheduling it is NOT guaranteed. Sometimes, it can ship out the NEXT day instead of the same day we received the ecu.
4. There is a flat rate of $50 that is charged to ship the ecu back to you. This excludes AK, HI and international. This is the flat rate charged by Powerchip. You can opt to ship with USPS or another carrier but your ecu will NOT be insured for our regular $1000 insured amount.
5. This tune was prepped for with the use of the intake scoop. The claimed hp gains do not apply to those with AFE, K&N or other such intake systems. Tests were done on stock cars.

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
525: 12-16hp gain
530: 15-20hp gain
545: 18-23hp gain
550: 18-23hp gain

Is it WHP?
My experience with Air/Fuel upgrades are that they get detuned as time goes on. The computer will alter air/fuel maps to optimize fuel economy; thus negating any performance gains. Is that the case here?

Do you have the Dyno's that show these gains?
