    It is.

    I learned like a boss in Russia with you.

    Don't worry, no one REALLY cares.

    But yes, a stock GTP will benefit from a tune, but it is wise to open up the restrictive exhaust side first...u-bend delete, downpipe, PLOG, or headers.

    but could you have more timing or less timing im not sure whats better on 93oct? IIRC you want 0* of KR 14* of timing and a AFR of 14.7 at WOT on a ideal tune?

    .....0KR is best but if you only see an occasional blip of up to 2 you're fine. you want MORE than 14* timing being run not just commanded. and want an AFR of about 11:1 on a stock car or near stock WOT.
