The issue is the canned tune is a "Blanket" tune. Some cars may run ok others not so much. I have yet to see a true canned tune car run worth a darn. Last year I was faster then a canned tune P1 procharged A8 car and my only mods were Cat Deletes, Ported IM/TB, Rotofab, flex sensor e85, and Pray base tune.

Imho you would be better off to do these bolt-on's above with a good tune from Brett @ PrayPerformance opposed to spending the money on a Supercharger with a Canned tune.

A canned tune 520-550whp 6th gen doesn't run very strong. mid low 11's with 121-123 traps is what I have seen out of them. Again you can do that with bolt-ons, e85, and a custom tune. I have also seen FI cars pick up 7-8mph trap from one of these canned tunes to a custom tune from a competent gen 5 LTx tuner.

Last time because I don't want to get repetitive...The only way I would suggest going FI on this platform is if you upgrade the fuel system and get a custom tune....otherwise you can go just as fast with a NA bolt-on car. Don't believe me then contact a couple of the Tuners that I have suggested...Rick Clark, Steve Rankings, Brett Stewart...etc.

Honestly if I didn't care about noise and drive-ability, I would of just stayed NA and went with a GPI or Pray Performance Heads/Cam/Intake/Converter setup. mid 10's all day at 134mph pretty much full weight. What I love the most about my current Whipple setup is that it's a total sleeper...not loud, doesn't shake, drives like stock, and run's mid 10's on 20" DR's full weight.
