Every engine is different. When you get your ECU "Chipped" and "Tuned" The first thing the tuner does is get a BASELINE dyno......all baselines are different, hence why you dont wanna send this dude your ECU

It would be worth trying since it wont cost you anything, and the action is totally reversable. You'll feel the gain in torque, but will have to use premium gas, 91+ octane. Give it a try, see how you like it, and then go from there.

Honestly its not going to give your THAT much power, and it could in turn end up messing up your idle. I wouldnt advise it.
