    I just recently sent an email to Will and he replied within the day.

    Before a tune, first things first should be a downpipe + a transmission cooler/shift kit/pan drop/filter change.

    Without those, a tune is damn near worthless. The trans will still cook and the GXP has the u-bend like the 97-03 GTP's.

    I'd also consider the X11 front poly mount at a minimum and a 3800 poly trans mount + a poly upper mount.

    That's about all I've done to my car and it's really pulled it together.
