I'm comparing the price of name brand aftermarket parts for one car vs. another. Same quality, same materials, same fit and finish....... they just stick it to you if you own a BMW.

FWIW, for the Trailblazer SS tune, while the tables in the ECU are the same as other cars, the tune is completely model and year specific. The LS2 motor is in other vehicles, but this is the only one that weighs 4500 lbs and has a 4 speed auto tranny.
For every new car/truck you tune, you have to start from scratch.
Luckily, when you understand the tuning process, the process is similar though. But, you have to create a "generic" tune that makes good power and will be safe on all the cars. That's not easy to do. FWIW, I tuned my last car myself. I spent hundreds of hours learning how, and went through over 100 different tunes before I got the one that made the most power, and drove the smoothest.

I'm not saying I'm going to go out and blow money on everything that claims to gain HP, but I won't be putting too much thought trying to rationalizing every dime.
yada yada yada, I ordered one of these on Sunday but it's on back order already (everywhere I could find them).
Hopefully in a couple of weeks (and after hours of labor) I'll have a few horsepower at about $100 each or so. I'll let you know whether I think its "worth it" given my disposable income.

Part of the reason I get disappointed with the results is too much research on my part. Instead, I'm just staying away from mods on this car. The money is going to go into my project car instead (69 Mustang Mach 1).

Unfortunately (for modding purposes) I have one of the NINE engine options in 1969, the 390 big block.
Parts are a little harder to come by than something like a Chevy 350 or a Ford 5.0.
