If your asking a question like this, should you really be tuning it yourself?

you are a lot braver than me. i think i would just save up the $150 and let Steve Frost tune it for ya. a tune would definetely be worth it with those bolt ons. maybe 10rwhp or so and not to mention the extra torque those two bolt ons put together could provide with a good tune.

I will be tuning it with a buddy that has experience tuning multiple forced induction cars. He hasn't really tuned many bolt on cars with a MAF. I was just asking so that I could get a little insight on what has to be done, isn't that what this forum is for?
