Tuning

I know there is all sorts of different threads about tuning but I wanted to get an opinion based on my situation. I have already replaced my intake with takeda a and my full exhaust from Perrin. I will be focusing on suspension, tires and brakes next with an eventual plan to slip a supercharger in once I upgrade all I can before then.. My question is since I've alrdy butchered my warranty which tune would be best also considering its a daily driver.

Get a local tune. I'm going to DD Performance Research when I get all my bolt ons. They're just outside of Houston, about an hour and a half away.

If not local, FA20club is pretty solid or Visconti. Either way, you can't go wrong, but if you want maximum gains specifically for your car, go with a local tune on a dyno.

You already have Perrin products. I would absolutely call and talk to them. They will customize the tune to your upgrades. Plus auto blip and flat foot shifting. Really good stuff. It's either 800 or 850 I can't remember which.
