hptuners.

or you could start off with the good stuff. tornado, some type of throttle body spacer, velocity stack, electric supercharger, some stickers, etc. if you gain 2-3 hp from all of that you'll be good, if not just add more stickers.

Since you dont want to spend alot of money (some cant read) get a tune from pcm for less. A Radix is 5 grand.

stall is my favorite mod, probably give you .5

tune would be a close 2nd, not really sure what that is good for, maybe .2-.3?

both if you can swing it, then you will be running strong.

there can be alot of answers for this one. do you want what the best HP/$ is? or the best HP/mod?

1. NOS is best ET/$

2. TC best ET/$

3. custom tune


if you only want to do one mod, but pay alot of $$$, then radix probably
