All I've done so far is add a drop in K&N filter.

There's no such thing as "Performance on a Budget"! Once you desire more performance, the budget goes out the door!! It's addicting! It NEVER ENDS!!!!!

Credit card limits = budget...
I'm trying not to follow that strategy... There is just so much I want to buy and I want it now.

I agree fully....if you can Tune in person then that's always better.

I did my exhaust and induction before I did my tune, but you don't have to do it that way.

I have friends that did the tune and kept it stock except for the Tune.

It's just to each his own.
