    What are your mods? 15 RWHP from a tune seems like ALOT if you have just a tune and cat-back.

    my mods at the time were.

    pulleys
    catback
    k&n filter with silencer removed

    when looking at the dyno sheet i got 230 at the wheels, after the tune. 248..so its actually more..:nice: :nice: :nice: :nice:

    since then a cai, and royal purple...:D

    the guy that does the tunes is very good, he has done a lot for other people on here. it was also with 89 octane

    i used to have the diablotuner, i maxed out spark and ran 93 octane, i definately gained some top end but i lost some low down torque

    I just sold the tuner and now i can definately feel more low end torque and a loss of top end. It seems like its a lot easier to screech second after taking the tune off

    Best bang for over all would be nitrous. Not sure if that is what you meant. $800-$1000 for 150hp. Worst bang for buck would be a plenum or cai. I don't think i saw any gains with either. At least no seat of pants gain.

    I quit doing the bang for the buck thing... its all about the end goal when you're talking bolt ons...

    Nitrous and F/I will forever be debated as to which is the cheapest for the gains in the long run etc...

    The two mods I feel the best about (ie instant gratification)

    1. Pro-Chamber (Felt it, Heard it, love it!)

    2. Plenum / TB combo (Felt it... not power but response, Heard it once again smoothness, love it... except when I gotta polish it before shows)

    wait wait....

    So, that thing that they advertise on Spike, which seems like a hoax, actually works, or are you being sarcastic...

    Tell me more!! Does it improve MPG like they say?

    I got the stickers, 2/$1 100hp and the chicks LOVE IT
