The lower idle speed is nothing more then something I noticed immediately on the tach. All other values including the engine temperature remain unchanged at "normal". The extended running time for the fan I haven't noticed but apparently is listed among the improvements....all in all no regrets. IMHO tweaking software is a more elegant way of modifying a cars performance compared to hardware changes. If you have the spare cash....go for it!
Thanks tonygg. Very helpful feedback. I ordered the tune today. Looking forward to seeing similar positive results. My car feels quick and runs good right now so if there are positive benefits to be derived from this tune that's what I'm looking for. I agree that a tune is a more "elegant" way of modifying the performance. I've decided other thant the high flow K&N filters I've put in, this will be my final performance mod. I'm happy with the car now so a little more hp operational enhancements and I should be all set.
