first off get a better tune. try one of the tuners who sponsor this site. they're all good and offer free or discounted re tunes for future mods which will be necessary if you decide to go any farther.

You need to contact one of the sponsors for this site that are to the right over there >>> ie(Nelson,Black Bear Performance,Wheatley)

I used to have a handheld JET Performance Programmer but after I got it tuned by Justin from Black Bear oh man what a difference it makes

X100 a custom tune is 100 times better than a handheld.

When you get your custom tune you won't need the handheld anymore unless you wanna use it as a scan tool for SES light.

Does why really matter? Get a custom tune. As for cam something like a 212/218 low lift
