That was cardoc over on FCO. It did gain something like 15 whp. However, the car was running downright awful with the stock programming. The graph looked nasty. The svt pcm did seem to clean things up but Im sure results will vary depending how the car is running to begin with. Id say if the car is running like it should with the stock pcm, then only about a few whp would be gained. Long story short, the stock svt pcm tune is far from perfect.
