Yea, I really would have!

+1 I did both and am very happy with it. How many people do you know pushing 18lbs of boost and running 21* of timing

You are also past the 600hp mark. I am not looking for anything that sick.....not yet anyway.

By the way, the Diablo chip that came with my V1 was in a car working, so I'm thinking I may not need a tune, what do you think?

But all cars are different, get it tuned.

****. The problem is that there are only a couple dyno/tune shops around me and they dont do Diablo. So now I'd have to buy an sct for $350, then the tune for $450. Why do they send tunes with blowers if thet dont work? Is it just a safe tune to get you to a shop?
The car it came off was a stock 98 just like mine.
I guess you gotta pay to play.
