This is the setup you should buy...(IMO)

Bamachips 93 race tune/ Diablosport tuner/ C&L True race intake.

This is the setup i have and i love it. I know many other people have this setup and love it 2. You have a GT rite?

Yes. However, the person that you'll buy your tunes from will need to know the size of the intake in mm. I suggest you buy the combo from a reputable vendor (a.k.a., Brenspeed, Bama, VMP).

I'm so confused. I don't understand what you're asking at all. Tuners like VMP, Bama, Brenspeed write custom tunes for an air intake. My personal recomendation is a C&L CAI with 88mm maf tube and VMP 93 octane tune.

The handheld tuner can work with any intake, they are not intake specific. However I think you should take a different approach at this. The first and most important thing is to select a shop that you are confident that will provide a good tune for your current plans and future (within limits). The reason is this, when you select shop A to get your tune from, they will have a tuner (handheld) preference. Most of the time they won't be as good with the other tuner but in some cases will still provide tunes for the other handheld. At the same time, they will have more time and experience with certain intakes and prefer them. Try to shop the 3 as a combo, (shop, handheld and intake). -Joe
