I don't really want to stick with the canned tune and I Wil be doing the install myself so I am contemplating the flash n go or driving it on the canned tune to dynosty two hours away and having them tune it (i just don't like the idea of having to drive/haul two hours for issues). My goals are reliability and somewhere north of 250 or 270hp (reason why I'm not going with the c38).

Anyone have any ideas on tune or how I should go about it

I'm very happy with moto-east. They send you a semi-custom tune for your car and you go back and forth with them sending them logs and Mike doing some fine tuning. I don't know if you have e85 in your area but that really makes the c30 kit come alive. You get more power everywhere and especially the midrange.

The c30 I feel is more than enough. I originally went back and forth with the c38 kit but with e85 and the c30 (~300whp), I break the rears loose rolling on the throttle in 3rd gear once I hit ~5000rpm. When I upgrade my tires (currently running 225/45/17 dunlop sport maxx/rs3), I might throw on the high boost pulley (~380whp) but I think that will just be ridiculous scary power. I've been running the c30/e85 kit all year and the power still is awesome when I get to use it.
