The price to performance ratio is skewed on that one.

I don't know exactly how much you'd gain in an N/A car, maybe 5whp?

This has been tried through the years, and even an RS with the best tune doesn't gain anything significant.

I remember Alex's (Imprezer) 2.5RS back in 2000, with a Tech II and fully tuned by Shiv himself gained only little. Alex's car wasn't NEAR stock either, he had the best of the best parts from cusco and on.

Since neither of the other answers said anything relevant to the actual post ( although did have good info ) hit up EQ Tuning. See what he says about it

My relevant 2 cents.

NA cars benefit very little, power wise, from a tune. This will be no different, COBB hasn't unlocked some mysterious tuning secret for NA cars.

This is basically a $700 toy for some features that aren't very accurate (0-60, dyno, etc.)

If you want a tune for smoother driveability, get an open source tune and save the extra money.

Now this I'll agree with.
