    I got a 2000 gtp and I have a 3 in catless down pipe and o2 emulator and open cone air intake. Would there be any tuning that I could get done to improve my stock tune or should I leave alone til I do future mods?

    Ok thanks I was just curious if there was any kind of gains a person could get from just tweaking a tune on a stock car.

    Ok thanks for clearing that up. In what areas does a person gain from stock retune? Power? Fuel economy? Trans?

    And then you woke up.

    So you ran 21* of timing with a 3.4" and stock everything else?

    Must have had a nice 9:1 AFR to boot.

    Quit lying to people, it's rediculous.

    They're just noobs, forrealz.

    I'm surprised the rest of the internet doesnt bow down to 3800 guys.
