Gotcha, thanks! I think I'm to the point now where a tune is required

I had been swayed to the s/c side, them Tombstang told me about this and it was over. Just need to get my $$$ together. I'd rather build up my suspension and what not before so that the TT is like the icing on the cake. At that point I want the car to be done, and I have a long time before I'll be there so until then I'll be driving her how she is

I'll let you know what I decide, sent a few options to my tuner for him to research, I will say this though. If I hadn't already bought one that Techco would be my first choice. That being said, I do feel you can have to much air on a mostly stock motor BUT this could be compensated for through a smaller filter. If it weren't for the price I would of already ordered one.
Sorry cant help on the CAI but cant wait until you get the TT! TOMB sent me some info and I dont know when the last you talked with him about the exile but PM him for an update (very interesting). Hope you realize the gains that the motor can achieve as long as it can take big breaths!

Just a few days ago actually most exciting news was price decrease. This car is extremely long winded, my 3.90's going in soon should help get the power down where I can use it more but right now the motor itself is extremely capable of say 800 rwhp with that kit. That said, I don't want it. I'm going to go low boost high efficiency so say I'm only putting 8lbs of boost, I still want to be sitting at 600rwhp. Now it comes back to the whole supporting mods thing. By the summer I should have a Fays 2 in place along with control arms and possibly sway bars. I need to upgrade to the GT500 fuel system and I plan on doing an oil cooler a few other things such as gauges. After that, it's a matter of save my money.
