um

Depends on how well you want it to run. If you want to extract as much power out of the engine as possible, then yeah, you should re-tune it after changing anything that will adjust how much air or fuel is getting pumped through.

I was thinking about getting an RT or PMS, vfast i know you used both which do you recomend if I'm using a laptop next to the car? How long does it take to understand the thing and actually apply it usefully.. It seems like theres only so many things you can tune...

I'm going the Tweecer RT route and I like it. Big learning curve, and you need to procure a wideband 02 to make it worthwhile, but it's not too hard if you're computer savvy.

I'd be more than happy to show anybody in the area the software part (hardware is in the kick panel, except the switch which went awol. [:@]
