I'm sure this question gets answered over and over but here it is again. I just about an 01 gt convertible and I was planning on doing just exhaust but of course I never stick to my plan. Now I have done the cat back and have a catted xpipe, shifter, and 4.10 gears coming. My next question is how do I want to calibrate my speedo? Looking at a few diablo sport tuners on ebay but they seem to be a pretty good investment. Used ones are going for within a hundred dollars of new ones. Or should I just get a speed calibrator? Is a tuner worth the money on a basically stock car? I can't find a dyno chart anywhere but they say dyno proven. This car is just for fun. I own a construction company so it doesn't get driven a lot. I usually drive my truck with a trailer

tuner is an awesome mod! i feel like i picked up 20hp with my full bolt ons! i would buy it, because you will want it later and you might as well kill two birds with one stone!

I'd get a tuner, Xcal3, then you have the option of custom tuning, or a "can tune", you can fix the gear calibration, increase the rev. limiter, ect..ect... and will even read the trouble codes. ALong with that you'll pich up some xtra HP/TRQ

You've done exhaust, gears, x-pipe, .......... Yea, your hooked! Get a tuner now or you will get one later. CAI would be a good investment also! Did see one listed on the previous post

I'm starting to think that. I said I was gonna leave it alone and didn't. Now I say I'm done but I guess we know how that goes. What kind of power do they add on a car such as mine? Its a five speed so no transmission help. I have a friend with an 05 and he loves his tuner. He says his car feels like a mut without it. He runs an sct but says the diablo is just as good but easier to change from car to car

i have sct.. you will pick up a few ponies with a 93 octane tune, plus i got a couple of mpg too

Which cai is the best bang for the buck? My wife is gonna kill me. Just found out we have a little one coming and she said my bike had to go. I sold it and bought "the family car" lol. We can set him in from the top I tell her. Now i'm spending a bunch of money on it. Grrr so frustrating. I have a drag car that runs in the 9's so I just want a fun street car

Dont waste your money on a CAI man, just throw a K&N in there and remove the silencer.

And yes a tuner would be a great investment.

What are the 4.10's gonna do to my gas mileage? I think I might have gone too far. I just couldn't handle doggin along at 1600 rpm's in 5th gear at 60

CAI is junk in our cars, i would spend as little as possible... some people say get a k and n filter and remove the snorkel, but i would buy this one
