[QUOTE="2010BlkGraniteNox, post: 3266, member: 11"] I never really worried about 0-60 times....I mean it is just an Equinox after all. But for the 3.0L, low end power band is VERY noticeable. I have run the stock a few times since being tuned (testing), and every time I load the tune its instant smile for the powerband. On the V6 power never came on until in the 4k range, with the tune the powerband starts much lower (around 3k rpms, but it has more power from the start till then as well). It really gets rid of the flat spot the stock tune had The Tranny tune goes with the engine imo....I have run the engine tune w/ the stock tranny tune, and it is fine, but it does loose the feel due to slow, weaker shifts. The tranny tunes are nice (I have 3 different ones I have been playing with), and it adds duel profiles into the tranny, given more useability of the "M" mode with faster, more precise shifts. As well I have a tune I have been testing out, that adds 2nd gear start to the car, the idea is to increase MPG's by not allowing the car to go into first gear, this will mainly work around town, typical increase is only 1-2mpg's at best depending on how much city driven one would do....
