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?

you can do it urself to a cetain extent with a hand held tuner or u can have custom tunes loaded onto the tuner by a shop. i would just buy a chil and have it dyno tuned.

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.
