Yes you would see good gains with a tune.
Then FI is pretty much the next step.

no FI wouldnt be next step unless thats what you want

a full out n/a engine build could be next. but for the money, youre not going to see gains like you would with FI

like mentioned above, headers, JWT Popcharger, and definatly a tune. Im very proud of my Uprev Tune.

www.uprev.com

The Osiris Program is just as expensive as any tune you would pay for, and its very convenient since you dont have to remove your ECU and put downtime on your car, plus the Uprev guys are great and very friendly.

peep that out, you'll find some good insight there.
