    In a word, Overkill

    Not that there aren't good options out there.

    Canned tunes aren't that great. Every car is different. Get a custom tune and thank yourself later.

    I as well run an overkill tune, and very happy. I also had a local tuner do an in car tune to get it spot on with my mods afterwards. I highly recommend Will's tunes.

    I splurged last week and purchased an overkill tune from Will just for the hell of it since i have every other N/A mod. It really is a great tune i mean the shifts are crazy, in a good way. Car pulls alot harder and quicker.Get it, you wont be disappointed.

    What blue was getting at is get all your mods first, then tune it.

    With my three, bottom end is not so much, top end it pulls hard. Since I put the poly squares in, it seems like it helped my bottom end with the engine not rocking and applies relative direct power. So get poly uppers, they help.
