The car runs great. Mixture is spot on (I have log works to monitor this). Te tune will just make it sing with 93 octane fuel which I regularly use. I am really happy with the performance. Also, it's putting out 305 hp at the wheels.

I'm very confused now. I have followed most of the FI threads and now I'm kind of scared to go with either Stillen or GTM. What do you guys think is better, go with a FI and spend the time and money for tuning( I don't live within 250 miles of a shop that can do it.) or just get a CAI, headers, 49 state legal cats and CBE? Maybe a nitrous system from Zex?

What are you offering? I'm all ears. I like your thinking DS that sounds like the way to go. I could wait awhile and have the car payed off then they should have the bugs worked out or just have a shop do a custom tune.

That's a good place to put the Z sticker. I was trying to figure out where to put it.
