Vtuner Stage 0 vs. stock (just a quickie)

I've heard two reasons:

1- Big tuners (Maptun, BSR) like to squeeze every last penny from your pocket, hence why they don't fully give you the possible power that can be extracted just from a software tune. They want you to pay for their many different stages available.

2- Don't extract all the possible power just from a simple SW tune to make sure that their tunes are extremely reliable, as these are full on tuning companies and any reliability issues with their tunes would send the company spiraling down.
 
for those wanting a vtune dyno graph, here it is. this is the original 'Vtune' -- not the rev 2.0 update.

its is stock vs bsr vs vtune (orginal -- not rev 2.0) rating the power @ the wheels. done on a manual transmission.

hope this is of some help to those looking for it; click on the image to zoom in once the page loads...

Damn, those are some good numbers.

However, howcome your stock numbers are quite high? You're hitting about 235whp.:confused:
