Well got her tuned, slapped in the new spark plugs, new 3 bar, put the GH tune on. Couldn't be more happy, about to take a nice long drive, test out her limits a little. *click* *click* *click* battery is dead, lmao just my luck.

Do you mind sharing the total cost?
Well I don't think it will be very accurate. I got very lucky I have an SCT BDX tunder which is normally 400 dollars new and a 3 bar MAP sensor (allows you to push more boost basically) which normally runs for around 75-100 dollars new along with spark plugs which cost me another about 40 bucks and of course the tune itself from geared cost 100. In total it will probably cost around 650 USD for everything. As I said previously however I got very lucky and bought my tuner and 3 bar MAP sensor from someone who used it for I think a month (still not sure if I believe hime because everything was perfectly clean and had the protective plastic still on it) for 225, tune for 100, spark plugs for another forty.

TLDR; everything new should be around 650USD give or take.

We discussed meeting at the track once it opens and @PoppaJ ended up getting tuned faster than I expected! It'll certainly be interesting to see the difference and I'll gladly capture it on video with the dash cam and GoPro.

Put the shifter in S and let it eat again.
Definitely need to do that and take a video, I was trying to take it easy on the ol thing while I got used to it. (Although I think I should have stayed taking it easy when I drove home this Friday)

Lmao, definitely planning on it if our schedules can line up!
Trying to coordinate with a friend who has a '16 SS sedan, but thinking the 23rd of this month. We did a little fun run several months back that didn't go as he planned, so getting to the track will be fun.
