ok, well i have a few mods for na and after being on this site for awhile i keep hearing that ppl sometimes loose hp for their mods. so obviously they need to be tuned. what is a good tuner that has a easy interface. i have searched and pretty much found out that there is no chips for this car. a unichip keeps coming up but i cant really find out what it does besides change af ratios. well if i got a emanage wouldnt i be able to do the same but more cause im tuning it instead of it being preset or am i missing something. sorry im asking some newb questions but ive been tryin to search but i cant find straight up answers so can some one help me out.
1. is the unichip worth it and can i tune through it
2. would i be better off with a emanage to tune my car for my mods
3. should i just get a reflash (wherever the hell you get one)
4. is the utec worth it on a na car or should i just get a emanage.
5. is there a controller for the emanage so i can tune it on the fly say for the strip?
dont flame me up, just trying to spend my money on the right things

At this time I don't see a point for tuning of any type.
You are running intake and exhaust, that's it. If you can tune for 5 additional peak horsepower, that's too high a $/horsepower value. For performance, there at better ways to spend your money i. e. plenum spacer, test pipes...

Most likely your air:fuel ratio is good. Don't know without a dyno. Right now we are guessing what a tune might do. A typical flash might get you 0 or 5 hp and cost about $400. Too much money IMHO.

^^^get a dyno to find out what your a/f is. most likely your fine since you don't have test pipes or a spacer yet. decide what your end goal is. if you plan on going FI later I'd say go ahead and make the investment in a UTEC. if you plan on only doing bolt on's and you want to get your a/f corrected, then either do ALL your bolt on's and then get a custom reflash (technosquare should have the rev-up flash ready by then) or get an emanage blue or ultimate.

Most would agree that you get all your N/A breathing mods done first then UTEC and tune. Otherwise you will be paying for retunes.
Utec will allow for A/F and timing tuning on an N/A car. Plus if you go F/I you will be able to use the Utec for that with an upgrade and new tune.
