You're in the 2005-2012 forum. But many guys here are FI on their DD's.

like Nuke said, but outside of that you can go the header route, don't know if that is included in your full exhaust, beside that your looking at cam, gears, a new intake for the new edge is pretty cheap, other than that heavier duty upgrades like heads are the main route

OP the problem with what your tuner is that each tune HAS to have the same ecu code. There many diff codes on these s197's. If your tune, even though it was written for same year and mods as your car, may not work correctly due to you having a different ecu code then whomever the code was written for

os $350 a reasonable cost for gears including Install? My project looks like this…
custom tune, springs,gear,long tubes,cam,aluminum driveshaft,borla mufflers, a nd finally cosmetic mods. And culminating in either twin Turbo or supercharger. I know this is a hall of a project but I am patient and finally have a decent job. Is this a good plan?

$350 for gear install is cheap. $150 for the gears, $50-$75 for the install kit. Also make sure the gears are FRPP, not richmond or motive. just make sure the install is from a reputable installer, gear whine is a B**CH

Thanks. I will order today. He has a good Rep but in a small town. He did great so far on mods but I am skeptical as I am paranoid.

Anyone know where is a dyno in south or east KY? How much rwhp do u guess I am pushing? When asked I respond "not Enuf" Would do gears or springs first? And will a strut tower bar make it's corner better, or just dress up engine? And thanks for input. U GUYS R AWESOME.
