Relax codyace. I'm not trying to school anyone here, just trying to enlighten people here about their alternatives. All I'm saying is that mail order rom tunes are not a one size fits all solution. Choose a good tuner that is accessible and has good customer service. Then chose an ems that your chosen tuner can tune really well with real time dyno tuning.

Don't use an safc to spot tune a rom tune that should be spot on in the first place. Go somewhere where you can have a rom tune real time dyno tuned.

I tried the Enthalpy route and got the LAST thing I wanted: SHITTY customer service because at the time Scott got a new job so it couldn't be helped. (No offense to Scott, he is an AWESOME tuner but he's in FL and I am in CA but with all the money I spent on my motor that wasn't acceptable for me)

Since I got an hks fcon vpro for REALLY cheap and since I personally know the tuner at hks usa and we're both in so cal I chose the hks fcon vpro.

My next choice would have been technosquare in torrance for a real time dyno rom tune.

Anyway, that's my advice from personal experience.

Finally, I would def upgrade valve springs and retainers but that's just my preference considering the motor will be making a lot more power than stock. It's all about peace of mind.
