You 100% sure it’s not already chipped? That’s usually one of the first things people do, only reason I ask, one look at the DME and you can usually tell if someone’s had it cracked open. Easiest way to find out is they were all limited to 127mph, try to get to 140, if it won’t let you past 130 or so it’s on a stock tune. I’d recommend TRM ([www.racersmarket.net](http://www.racersmarket.net)) or TMS/Jim Conforti ([www.turnermotorsports.com](http://www.turnermotorsports.com)) ---

Well then expect to pay about $250 for an off the shelf tune. It’ll make it much snappier, bump your rev limit up, and remove the top speed limiter. ---
