    so after tune how would you describe the car?

    more resposive? more pull? better top end?

    and what diff gears did you get and did u feel they were more of a gain then the tune?

    thanks!

    i had 3.9 diff gears fitted and you can feel the difference, acceleration definitely improved. as for which was better i would say the tune in my case as i had a full exhaust, OTR and tune done at the same time and the guy who did the work said it was running really bad when he first put it on the dyno so after all the work was done it made a huge difference.

    if you have full exhuast, i'd do OTR+tune next then diff gears.
    you will notice alot with your first drive after the tune!
    want to see more then a typical commodore fitted with an exhuast, then check my thread out... link broken cuase i dont own a tuff car, i just made it up...

    You will notice more all round performance gain with the tune.

    glenlyon motors in brunswick/north fitzroy are meant to be really good, i haven't had any personal experience from them but they are dedicated to race prep and builds. Just thought i'd throw that in if u were in the area.
