With those mods i'd say no, but if you have more planned for your car such as gears then a tuner would be a must. As for which one to get, it all depends on the tuners in your area. Both the Predator and the SCT make quality products.

I agree with 02 Ninja.....if you're getting gears it really is a must have....My Mustang has the predator and the Ranger has the SCT. Both are well worth it.

Can I do it myself or do I need a shop to do it?

i'd say the diablosport predator. you can throw the tune in yourself and its actually pretty simple to navigate through the other stuff as well.
