A tune will always help. Are you getting EcuTeck?

Remove this and sell:
- HKS SSQV

Add these:
- Forge UNOS MBC
- Forge RS DV
- Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
- Dynoflash (mail-in if you have to, custom tune if you can)

Uh, yeah man, you are just getting dyno'd. You aren't getting tuned. Those are 2 completely separate things. To get tuned, you must have a tuning device, and that's something you choose yourself. This is an extremely basic concept, and you have been on this board posting for a long time, so it doesn't make any sense that you don't know anything. You know how to search and know that people are told to search all the time - you need it more than anyone at this point. You can either get your ECU flashed, you can buy and install a piggyback, or you can buy and install a complete standalone ECU replacement.

What I recommended to you was a Dynoflash, since it's the cheapest solution, requires no self-tuning knowledge, requires no extra tuning/monitoring devices, and provides a LOT of power (best bang for the buck). You should probably communicate a little more closely with that shop you keep mentioning, because I've never heard of them doing EcuTek flashes, but it's possible. If that's what you planned on doing was have them dyno tune you, then you should have been ready to shell out no less than $650. Did you just think dyno'ing meant you were going to get magically tuned by the dyno tuning fairies?
