    Overkill can tune those. All other vendors can, too.
    Better than a can tune? A custom tune. I'm aware of a few folks out in Mid/North Jersey that do custom tunes, but can't immediately recall anyone closer. I know Axcelerated Motorsports in Richboro uses HPTuners which tunes our cars - trustworthy, good folk.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    headers do help, just they dont do **** in the low end, top end is were it helps, alot of ppl that have N/A normally do SD headers or Pacesetters, i would love to find someone that tunes well to get the maximum power out of my car and remove/change the stupid ass 110 limiter, but i dont know anyone that does tunes which is also y i made this thread haha

    Axcelerated has been the exclusive dyno for the Carlisle Fairgrounds car show series for years. And a custom tune is not a "**** ton of money;" they're quite reasonable. Though, for just intake and exhaust, you really can't go wrong with a canned tune.

    I would wait until you do headers to get the tune, then. No sense in paying for it twice, since it will run just fine with only an intake.

    you can touch the dyno 4 under 250... then every time you go back its at least another 200 bucks at least... (when you make more changes) i am not saying that a dyno tune isent the best way 2 tune a car but 4 the small amount of work that he is getting done it just isent worth it...,now if he was doing a cam hedders top swap or a turbo then yea i wouldent think twice and any way you look at it a caned tune is the worst way of a tune because if you know any thing about tuneing... you will know every car is different and they dunt make it work perfict for your enviroment sry about the spelling lol...

    Actually, it's $150. And you'll get a hp/tq/afr readout, which you won't get with a street tune or a canned tune. Not sure where you're getting your numbers.
