Unichip question

I picked up a Unichip recently. It was already tuned for the headers, intake and exhaust. I was wondering what I should expect from it. I installed it for a couple days and noticed some better responce when accelerating. I took it out last night because I had to take the car in to Acura for some work. It felt like the responce was not as good when it was removed.

The question is, am I just imagining this or is that what I should expect? Should I have it re-tuned?

Thanks.

Do not put install it until you have it returned. Mail order maps are not very reliable and chances are you will either not see any gains or you will blow something.

If you are done modding, I would have it custom tuned. Maybe dyno it to see if your butt tells the truth.

I believe the original owner had it custom tuned for the same set up I have on my car.
