Tunes can be very vehicle specific if you're looking to pull every last bit of power out of the motor at very specific conditions (temp, humidity, alt., fuel, etc.). That's where a custom tune is...

$3-4k for a motor? I'd sell mine for that just to justify a built motor install! Lots of other hidden expenses, but still tempting.
On another note, hiding what you did to the motor, knowingly...

44/56 isn't bad at all. And 2919# total isn't but ~150-200#more than stock. A turbo kit, oil cooler, etc. will quickly add up to that weight, plus it's usually way out front.

It'll be the tire that'll rub, correct? I believe the spring perch is a bit above the 17" rim. I'll investigate with some speedy parking lot turns.

I plan on this one...pulled the image from TexAgs.com and re-sized it.
