I have been considering getting a PCM tuning from PCMforless or MadZ28. I only really want it if it will make a noticeable difference in power. Will I be able to feel it when I hit the gas and/or will my 1/4 ET be different at all. The few mods I have are listed below. I also have the TB bypass and a 180 thermostat not yet in the signature. What do you think?

A tune on a basically stock car will typically net a 10 -15HP improvement. Most of this comes from leaning out the excessively rich factory WOT target A/F ratio. That's just about the threshhold where you can sense an increase in power.
10HP will net you about a 1.1 MPH increase in trap speed, and a 0.14-sec off your ET. You have to decide if you think that's worth the cost.Fred
