Tunes?

What exactly do the different tunes do? Do they reprogram the computer?
What are some of the better ones out there for the Boss? Do they affect the warranty? Is it better to skip the tunes and get the track key?

I use both VMPtuning and Lund tunes. We carry VMPtuning and can guarantee the difference you will feel after the tune.

A tune by definition is reprogramming the computer (ECU).

The TracKey tune is a pretty safe and somewhat warrantied program that gives you a few extra bells and whistles but no real power gain.

Go third-party if you want more power. But you're in sketchy territory with your warranty and gains might be relatively small.

Small? I don't think gains of 25-30hp on a safe* tune is small for what it costs.

I'm considering an intake and dyno tune but it seems like there's a lack of before and after dynos and track times for the boss which makes me a little reluctant.

If you're worried about a warranty I wouldn't get a tune, since I read that the ECU can tell even after it has been flashed back to stock that a tune used to be there. I think Diablo came out with a tuner that is said to bypass the section that remembers if the ECU has been flashed, but I wouldn't risk it.
