Default DO I really need to upgrade???

HALTECH, UTEC....COBB....ext... DO I really need to upgrade???

I certainly don't have the mods that most do (being modest here, I really don't have that many mods! LOL)

Here is what I got:

Injen Intake, Crawford Plen, Greedy TiC, Samcos bal bla, grounding Kit, Headers (ARC), test pipes (Ichiba <<< spelling I know, don't be hatin') and magical blue lights! LOL

On a serious note: What would be my benefits from upgrading? Please help me make a decision. All positive comments and constructive critisim is welcomed.

arc headers?

as for your question, upgrading from what? it's not clear

proper engine mgmt and tuning take the mods you have and allows them to be tuned to work together. It maximizes the mods on the car, and sets the stage for future mods. Based on that, it's up to you to find a tuner in your area you trust and who can accomodate your needs and wants with a price that fits your budget.

Upgrading from stock (forgot to mention that)

Thanks for your input man. And in regards to future mods: I won't be going FI thats for sure (its an AT so I really don't see the risk v's benefits in comparison if I had a MT) For the future I see Cams upgrade as probablt the most expesive bolt-on I'm gonna purchase...

No. Not if you have a 20 horsepower grounding kit.

I would focus my research on who will tune it vs what they will tune
