Test pipes or HFC's never VERY long story.. Short car was undrivable with them took'em off.. Intake mani not for a daily driver, or at least not anytime soon, Just what I got- till i get some coilovers..

its hard to estimate gains since EVERY car is different. But you will see a HUGE difference in the driving feel of the car. It would feel much more responsive. Should be a good 5-10hp gain, maybe more. But tuning it certainly won't hurt the performance.

Not worth the tune if you only have the two bolt-ons.

I think that everyone who runs a Stillen G3 intake should at least have their A/F checked. My car was very lean higher in the rev range to the point where detonation was occurring. A tune made a big difference for me, not in peak power gains (I gained 4-5rwhp peak), but I gained a large increase in power and torque across the entire power/torque curve and my A/F is safe.

I'm getting tuned tomorrow. The other day with my mods the A/F was all in the high 13's and only dipping into the 12's after 6k.

I don't think that's worth it though, IMO. Just save up a few more and go with the dyno tune. Well worth it, and you'll see maximum gains.
