I would love to hear some predictions as to what gains might be for folks looking for more out of their daily driver.
Will you be going with:
1.Full exhaust from headers out?
2.Turbo
3.Supercharger
4.ECU only
Just considering ways to get a bump without adding much weight and not losing dependability. What direction will you take?

I intend to do it exactly what I (and a lot of people) did on Gen1 - catless header + tune, preferably e85. On Gen1 those 3 things - header, tune, e85 - got you about a 15 percent gain, with a much better torque curve, in hp/torque at a cost of less than $1500 (the OFT tune was $500 and my JDL ceramic coated headers were $750 new). The reliability for this setup was not much different than stock.
I will reuse the headers on Gen2- just will be waiting for a tuning solution - which probably will be ECUTek first and will be more expensive than OFT - probably $1500, although admittedly it will be a more custom tune. Not sure OFT (or anyone else) will offer a tuning solution and don’t know when that will be.
