The tune is the absolute most important part of any build as far as I'm concerned! A bad tune can make the best of kits run like crap and vise versa. Your money will be best spent on a quality ecu capable of acurately mapping out engine peramiters! (power fc, AEM, blah blah blah) Also don't think you can just street tune it either. For example, I've seen plenty of guys try to "play it safe" and back the timing down only to back it so far down they end up melting exhaust valves. Me being one of those guys haha. Leave the tuning to a professional that has the proper equipment. If you do that you can do as much experimenting with different kits and parts as you like without doing any damage. Not to mention you will have a much more accurate understanding of how different kits and parts effect the cars overall performance. I speak from experience. I once thought the tune wasn't that important or I could figure it out myself. Turned out I was better at screwing up engines rather than tuning them!! Now I trailer it to the dyno and let a pro do it. Way cheaper in the long run. Plus if its tuned right you can drive the hell out the car without any worries. Thats why we make them faster, so we can drive them fast! Either way good luck with your build. I'm sure you'll have a blast learning all about the joys of forced induction!
