when you have done a head/ cam/ intake is when its time to get a dyno turn with a chip. or for some reason you tore the motor down and put in an agressive cam that the pc doesnt like

so pretty much save your money as a chip will be one of the last things to worry about

HCI will need to have a dyno tune to run at full potential. look in my sig. i dont have a dyno tune...working on a tune with the tweecer....but my car runs great. if you put a radical HCI swap in your car then its a good idea to get a DYNO tune. a "canned" tune is not a very good way to make optimum HP and TQ.

nope. best bang for the buck is nitrous.

and vtec you've got pretty much a cobra motor the way it looks. your stock pc can probably handle but correct tuning is always recommended. i would be worried when you sprayed though

yea, i know. i should just say cobra motor. when asked i tell people its a cobra with a cam and bolt ons. i have been off the bottle for a while. the zex electrical box has a short in it. needless to say im pissed about that. but the tweecer thing is a female dog to learn. its taken me a ton of time, and i still dont have a good tune.
