How much money you want to spend? Speed cost money, your budget is the limit...

Lots of tuning info to be found at this site, make sure to check the forums there too:

http://www.efi101.com/about.html

The emanage, utec, unichip, etc. work with your factory ecu to facilitate tuning which is basically adjusting your cars Air/Fuel Ratio, Timing, Fuel Delivery and Boost where applicable to optimize its efficiency and power output. Without one of those you could have a tune done by having your ECU reflashed/tuned by a place like Technosquare or AAM. Search around here a bit too and you can find much info. Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Gary

I'd suggest saving your money at this point and getting the supercharger, headers and a UTEC all at once.

ok thats a good suggestion. i guess this solves my issues. i just wanted to know if the tuning had to be done right away or if it would mess up my car if i didnt. i see you have some headers for sale?
