"........Affter my 24/18 Protomotive tune went in, I checked my mpg at 75 mph in 6th gear. 26.5 mpg."
I've read this statement from a number of guys after they've tuned their cars, and I find it amazing that a tune..... that essentially puts more power to the wheels...would actually result in better gas mileage. To me more power = higher gas consumption. Of course I realize that you dont' get 26.5 mpg with your foot in it all the time.
What sort of mileage were you getting before the tune???

+1. He actually "tunes" as Markski said above. And you can upgrade. Do a search on Mikelly's impression's of his UMW code. No issues in over a year with DE.

If I had to do it again, I would do Protomotive, UMW or EPL.
Of course almost 3 years ago, the options were very limited.
