not defending fiestamarn but high-strung na four cylinder cars may pick up 10hp or something from an ecu tune, but they won't respond anything like larger capacity v8s or factory turbo/supercharged cars.

even if you get an extra 10hp out of a 200hp engine, it'll probably only be at high rpms and i'd question if you could really be able to feel it.

an example of this is the renault sport clio, which has similar power to the 86. stock the 86 has a claimed 197hp at 7000rpm and 205nm at 6600rpm compared to the clio with a claimed 197hp at 7100rpm and 215nm at 5400rpm. in the clio superchips got a whopping extra 12bhp and 14nm. http://www.superchips.co.uk/search?m...5&variant=1929
