i'm getting a predator next week. the mechanic is going to give me a custom tune and dyno my car for $100. i have about two hundred extra dollars that i can spend. is there any mod out there that would make a significant difference. i was thinking about getting a fipk but i've heard so many mixed reviews on that i'm not sure. anyways i"ll post the dyno results when i get them.

I guess the CAI is best for now. Steeda makes a decent kit, too. I have a no-name aluminum set from ebay for about $60. More air is a good thing for power and MPG. Nice thing about a tune is that you can skip a timing adjuster and tune in the advance. Best of luck to you.

That's a REAL good deal for a dyno AND tune.

Ridiculously good price on the tune! And for 200 bones, you could go gears, CAI, timing adjuster, or UD pullies. Just throwing out some options...

should have saved the money on that tuner and bought some gears and had him put in a speedcal. that'd be the most noticable difference.
