My car is already running rich, I wouldn't want to risk it. Not that one thing has anything to do with the other. I just prefer to not cut corners

Must be cheaper outside of Cali, the cheapest I found was $350 and the guy didn't seem overly confident. So needless to say, I won't be going there...

I tune cars with bolt ons and a converter for around $125. WOT tuning at the track would cost someone $40.
