E-chips do really good if they are resistor based brother. Best bang for you buck IMO.

I'd go HAM and get stage 3 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stage-3-For-...40d50f&vxp=mtr

Just know the additional power may have you burning through clutches FAST!

OFT and E85 is your best bet. If you don't have E85, OFT and a header are the second best "bang for your buck" combo.

For once raven is being serious. Using an OFT allows you to flash a tune to run E85, which is a noticeable increase in power. Installing a catless header, combined with an appropriate tune (can also use OFT for this), is generally the best mechanical mod you can do.

Sorry for the bugs, I had a focusing issue when doing the headlights at the beginning of vid and should have had my camera up higher when recording the tails

They will be shortly. We'll do a group buy for the first run with tiered pricing, but aiming for under $100. Production units will be CNC machined with prettier rounded corners and pockets to reduce unnecessary weight.
