UTEC on almost stock car?

Do you guys think its worth it getting a UTEC for a car with only MREV on it? How much gains would I be looking at?
I don't think I want to mess with the exhaust cause I like the stock one. Don't want to mess with headers either because it might void my warranty(not stealth).

I gained 12whp on my stock 05 cpe with the UTEC, it should make a nice addition to the MREV and any other bolt-ons you might add in the future.

Correct, in addition to the 12wph gained @ peak, it also gained power throughout the entire rpm.

The UTEC is capable of raising your redline on the 287 motor, as far as removing the speed limit...you will have to look into a replash for that one...i haven't found the courage nor the road to go pass 120mph

You can refer to this thread for a full description of the UTEC.
With your current i would definitely get one as it help me pick up another 12whp when i added the LMS res. test pipes.

Excuse me, was that 12 WHP gain with a tune (of base map) or without tune?

That was with the revup motor stock base map. If you don't mind the drive to MD (about 3 hours or so from Jersey) i'd suggest you pay TXS a visit to get your UTEC installed and tuned, that will help take take FULL advantage of any other bolt-ons you might have. You can also get it installed localy by dealer such as MRC.

Yeah that's a lot of reading but it'll help you understand what it is the UTEC do to help you gain power...trust me i still have the UTEC manual as reading material in a certain area of my house
