Also i was thinking of getting me a full exhaust inc a catted header before i start tuning, and if it will add even more power i'm willing to get a new intake, maybe perrin? or whatever is the most cost/performance effective  |
You could go with our Stage 2 tune now and we could fine-tune it this summer. My base map will run your car better than the stock tune (think off-the-shelf tune), it is still conservative but you will have gains and the car will run smoother than stock as it is an overall improvement across the entire rpm range including part-throttle and full-throttle operation.
I have only seen a very small power increase on the top end of the rpm range with a properly tuned aftermarket intake. The stock intake with a drop-in filter is quite good. I understand some have reported a slight power increase at high rpms with the stock intake by modifying the snorkel part of the stock intake (removing an airflow restriction).
Having said that, the Perrin intake is a really nice intake and tunes very well (accurate), with good, even airflow.
I've PM'd you some details.
