I'm thinking either a LICP or a reflash... I just put on a TBE and I can already feel the throttle is a bit more snappy. I'm going for just better airflow, not looking to get into the motor or anything. I think the reflash will help with power and with MPG as well. If you think a reflash is better... who should I have do it, and what is the cost? Thanks all.

a licp is not gonna make even close of an impact on performance as a tune. Go with the tune for sure. You will be saving up for your next set of mods shortly after.

howcome people say to get the fuel pump, but they also say the IX's don't need one until like 350 and up hp? I get confused with that.

It's just cheap enough to be done with early on.

I'd prob just do a MBC and tune, that should be right at 300 or less or more depending on who you get tuned by. You prob can hold off on the fuel pump.

Cool, mellon is a real nice and his prices aren't bad either. Good luck!

There are many vendors that offer great e-tunes, check out the review section to see which fits your needs best.
