Default Flash Tuner

Im sorry if this has been discussed, but i did try to search the thread.

Anyway Im looking at getting a Flash Tuner for My AUII XR8 (Auto).
Only mod on my car is the exhaust.

I have spokent to BPT in Perth and they were very informative and advised that the gain would be anywhere between 10-15 rear kw. (Still to hard to beleive).

So what I am after is just some feedback from others whom have had the tuner installed and are happy with the result.

cheers

I was present when Muzz had his car done. It went from 160rwkw to a max of 178, then detuned (for safety) to around 175rwkw. But it's not just the net increase in power, it's better all through the rev range, smoother etc and more power everywhere. Well worth the grand and a bit to get a custom tune.
