A dyno tune would be preferred for best performance, but the sniper tune should be okay from what I understand.

I have the sniper special forces and its nice but how do i teak my tune even further than fuel..gear ratio and timing? and anyone know how far or less i could move the timing to increase hp? im lost when it comes to that

EDIT: just got to messing around with sniper, how do i adjust timing? it has MAF and tire height and gear ratio but i cant find timing

After you've loaded an initial tune (which you obviously have to have done already) then Sniper has a new menu called the "fine tuning" where you can adjust your fuel and timing. Fuel adjustment increments are pretty limiting on the Special Forces and something you shouldn't do with a wideband A/F gauge but you can adjust your timing where it says "global spark" and low/mid/high RPM spark.

nx nitrous plate kit, but they cost about 600 and you should probably get a window switch too which is around 75 for a non-programmable one or 150 for an adjustable one. then install, then tune or tuner with less timing and some cooler spark plugs possibly(not expensive)

but 100 rwhp and like 140 torque sounds pretty nice

if you're gonna have the car for another 5 years save up and buy a good set of headers and a nice mid pipe or cams and heads, then add the little bolt-ons as you go
