    hello,
    I have a 99 gtp. So far i have installed a ported s/c, pacesetter headers, and a wizard air intake. i have a 3.4" pulley on its way. i think a tune and im done... im thinking a mail order tune will be good enough for me. giving my mods, where should i go for a tune?

    thanks in advance
    Bruce

    I have a aeroforce interceptor, wideband and a boost gauge on the pillar. So overkill is the way to go?

    we see more happy people with overkill tunes then any other canned tune. a in car tune is best tho.

    the issue with an in car tune is I dont know who around my area actually knows what they are doing. plus i think would be happy with what the box can give me. this is just my DD. i have an 02 ws6 that is my baby.

    thanks again

    Overkill... Is the way to go. I used his tune before tuning my own and was good. Just be patient with him as this is not his main line of income. As an aside, there are people up in MA on this board, you should maybe reach out and see if someone would in car tune for you, it would be even better than Overkill's ; ) and for what it's worth, the ported SC is not as good without a ported TB. The TB will provide better airflow to the ported, smoothed SC and better throttle response. Just my $.02
    Overkill BBC Cam, YT 1.8 RR's, Rhodes Lifters, STGII Heads, GenV, Pacesetters, 3" Exh to Tips, TEP Trans. N*, ID 75# injectors/E85 coming soon
