Sorry, I can't answer your question but, I noticed you live in bakes, I live in Taft, thats about 40 miles from you as I'm sure you know, where do you get parts installed and stuff around bakersfield?

if not a simple reflash will work well with your mods.

You might also want to consider UpRev's Osiris. Osiris is PC software that lets you flash your ECU with maps specifically generated for your mods by UpRev. It saves you having to send your ECU off for three days, plus you can load five maps on a stock ECU.

Here's a link:

1. decide (be honest and realistic) what your goals are with the car - both performance and budget oriented

2. talk to some local tuners...guys with experience, and get a feel for what they like to use
