Default To tune...or not to tune...

That is the question.

I have just bought this 95 850 turbo, it has 202,000 miles on it. It runs great and has been in to the volvo dealer every 3,000 miles, all services have been performed and stamped by the dealer in the owners manual. The transmission was replaced this year as well.

My goal for the car is a nice DD that i can take to the track on the weekends.

I want to get 300-320 hp out of it. just a little worried about the miles.

I just turned 401,675 miles...
There is some maintenance, I need to do like the valve guide seal, but With my IPD tune I can push 14 psi with no issues.

As long as you do it right these motors are tanks.
