Check some of the manufactures websites for claimed gains, to make your decision. For some, it may not be worth it, and for others they may swear to it. Do some research.

BTW Dave, do Koni's mean you will be out of BS for autox?
No, in stock class you can do dampers and a front sway bar and stay in stock class. Springs will bump you out.

I wouldn't say you "need" to get tuned but you will get the benefit of them from a tune instead of untuned.

The UTEC is out and I think he was working on the MAP sensor and the remote as he was interrupted with the other car. We will have to look at that little drip issue that he mentioned to you on the ride up to the shop as well.

so if you dont get a tune its kinda about the same effect as doin something like changing exhaust? but if you get a tune it makes all the difference in the world?

Roger that, it seems like no matter what, my car likes to expel fluids of some sort, every time it comes to your shop.

Jay also mentioned to me that you just got a Spec clutch for someone. I am looking for the 2+ in case the one in there now doesn't hold. Can you check on a price for me?
