Get that car tuned and "loved" by a good mechanic. You will get that permagrin back, no worries!

It is very unusual for a calibration (information on the chip) to go bad. Your stock chip can be erased and reprogramed by any of the tuners.

Having someone fly out this fall to teach me how to do some tuning. You can only learn so much by phone and get so "close" by mail order, but I am definitely intrigued. I smell a new obsession on the horizon
