being tune for something then taking it out is not a good idea and as far as the cams go ahead a spend the extra buck for hks cams the gsc cams are cracking after alot of miles and for the extra money get full intercooler piping this helps alot. just my 2cents

Replacing the intake will surely mess up the tune, especially replacing with a very different intake. I would do gsc cams and arp headstuds next. A licp is a good idea but not needed. As far as cracking cams goes, do your research and you will see what that was all about, the new v2 have no problems watsoever.

264/272 not 272/264. Get a SAFCII instead of Dynoflash. DIY

Not sure what 4-BNGR's problem is, but he obviously has a chip on his shoulder. There's absolutely no reason to take your Dynoflashed car and get an SAFC instead of it. That's ***-backwards and completely asinine. Also, 272i/264e is fine. People have been doing that a lot recently and that is the exact combo I will be running in a few weeks.

With the cams, get arp head studs, the Buschur LICP, and a custom reflash. You should have enough cash to toss in a 10.5 and o2, also. This will set you up nicely...

With the mods you have now, use BPR7ES gapped to .026. With the addition of the mods I listed, get BR8ES gapped to .026, but keep a set of BPR7ES spare at all times just in case. I keep extra sets spare, because they are very cheap, and you never know when you might need them.
