I would wait until you do the throttle body then because that changes the air input.

Like I said I'd for sure wait then if you have any more mods, I've read a lot about Will for Overkill I think it is I would recommend him just base don what I've read when you are done modding and get it tuned exactly how you want.

TB can be done after the tune, it doesn't alter that much. The computer can adjust for it.

N* or there's plenty of options on ZZP, look at their adapters and that tells you just about what you can have done.

Also, look around clubgp, they're all over there.

How do you have a governor delete without it already being tuned?

I think what he is getting at is that the PCM/file cut the fuel at a certain speed (108 MPH). There is no mechanical device that does it.

If you don't plan on doing any aggressive modding to the car you could get a tuned PCM right now. You would see some increased performance from the car.

Mostly it depends on if you want to run a colder T-stat and if you plan on adding more involved stuff like rockers or something along those lines.

I know what he meant, I was just joking with Brock.

Honestly, if he started doing rockers or a cam, he shouldn't be on a canned tune, he should get a road or dyno tune
