UMW is the way to go ! ive had several tunes now and Kevin was by far the best I have dealt with in regards to tuning. Hes transformed my car into a beast

also had an awesome experience with Sam at By Design for my exhaust system, both amazing fellas to deal with !

Surprised nobody mentioned this but 100 HP gain with just an off-the-shelf tune seems VERY optimistic....

600 HP with just tune and exhaust also sounds optimistic but with that said, contact Kevin and get his custom tune along with a catless exhaust and then that 600 HP sounds a bit more reasonable.

Default Realistic gains

I'm not sure what gains are realistic to expect with all the variables but 100 might be to much to expect with a tune and exhaust. As I said earlier it's going to depend a lot on the quality of your available gasoline. In Washington we are suppose to be getting 92 octane but it looks like we are getting something less than that. I'd be happy to get 70 with a good flowing exhaust. 550 horsepower and slightly more torque is a lot of power in a machine that puts it to the ground as well as ours.

Turbos are the easiest to 'tune' if you want to call it that. What they do is up the boost on each turbo. I have it on my 650IX and I got near 90 hp on a piggy back burger tune 93. That's why the truth comes out on NA motors...they don't get much out of them but for some strange reason turbo cars get amazing results. Easy turbo boost pressure. All that BS they slop all over their sites are laughable. They have fuel and timing. Not rocket science.

Evo motorsports has a 580/600R tune that gets about 100hp increase over stock. It's a tune, boost recirc valve, spark plugs and exhaust.
Without doing intercoolers, headers, intakes etc that's about the most you'll get.
