Default Performance Chips

I was serching the web for economical HP gains for my '04 V. I have a Magnaflow exhaust, K&N CAI right now and was looking for a better CAI than K&N when I stumbled accross this site. http://www.engineperformancechip.com...or-control-p-6

Money's tight right now and just looking for any input...

Seriously though... what kind of gains could I expect from a good tune done by a good shop? I have Redline Motor-Sports.net up here in the Capital District who are spoken of highly in the performance world. My V is stock except for the CAI and exhaust...

Also, thanks for the link Silverado but that leaves way too much room for error if I start messing with my ecm...

Adding a dyno tun with intake and exhaust you may gain 15rwhp...that's what I gained anyway. However, the car was much more responsive and more fun to drive.

If i were you i'd order a Wait4Me tune. I think its $160 and is almost as good as a custom dyno tune. Once you step up to a supercharger or a cam, i'd certainly do a dyno tune. But as long as you just have bolt ons, a mail order tune is fine.
