well, im mean it looks good too

yea cause looks = speed ... if that was the case then we would all drive FnF rejects and all run 9's while doing wheelies in our FWD cars.

Function and RnD ownes ALL there is no argument

BPI > ALL when it comes to pure power

So are the Ecutune and Uberdata/crome just a program to reprogram the stock ecu? or is there a new ecu that comes with them. (like a blank disc)??? and which header is smsp? and profab? by edelbrock? I really like the sound of the Greddy evo 2 exhaust so thats what ima get, but header not too sure was looking at greddy again or maybe DC sports. because they are inexpensive and decent. and then should i replace the cat? or just leave the old cat in there?

Crome and Uberdata reprogram the stock ECU. I believe eCtune is the same, but I'm not 100%. SMSP and Profab are companies. Google them and you'll find all the info you need. And don't build a car based on sound and looks. IMO, I'd keep the cat, but thats just me.

with ectune you will need an emulator ($175) and a datalog unit ($35) and the program itself ($199). You can get these in a package for $399. You have to plug the emulator in and leave it there for your car to run.

While it may seem pricey, compare it to other commercial tuning options out there. Then also notice the development of this program is more based on what the user may want.

For ecutune then are you suppose to be able to tune it yourself? and is that it? or can u get it then take it to a tuning shop and have them? Also does it educate u in tuning at all... like a manual to help in case you wanna learn how to? ... and i plan to keep the cat... but i'm wondering is it worth the gains to replace my ... 8 year old stock cat for a new hi flow one????

I've always herd when you put on exhaust you buy new cat,not sure if its a must or just a goo ideal, but either way I dont see why spending another $75 would harm anything.. there's a few places to tune your car at in stl area but dont goto Adrenaline for your tune!

Well i would lOVE MAD CRAZY HP, so i could laugh mustangs and cameros. But its easier for me since i'm not sittin on 10k to spend on building and turbo'in the motor. So i'm stuck with bolt ons, ecu and tune
