Would mine be the same or is our cumputer stricter?

Hehe good ol edit, thats what I planned on doing. All the bolt ons, tune a chip then start with the internals.
well you see JET and other companies make a generic tune and sell it to everyone, your cousin is probably seeing nowhere near the potential of his motor since every motor is different... its not the fact that the computer is more strict, its just that the tune on stock L03s are for a really small cam and debatably restrictive heads... when you change parts like the cam and the heads, the stock tune cannot handle these parts and is fueling and timing for parts that are nowhere near ballpark to what is on the car, so the car will not run, and if it does it wont run well.... what a tune will do is readjust the computer for the new demands
