Set up before tune

ok my mods are listed in my signature ive read the upgrade path suggestions etc just lookin for some insight hopefully. Im getting tuned one week from today(its a custom tune not a mail in) by Dynoflash. I was just wonderin if anyone had any suggestions about a part to change out or upgrade to before the tune.
The catch is the mod has to be fairly easy to install as i work every day before until i get tuned...so meth/cams/and an o2 housing are out
Options that ive thought of...

- FMIC(not really sure if its worth doin yet)
- Replacing the K&N w/ a cone

any suggestions other then what is listed are either of there a decent idea???
Thanks in advance i just know itll be a while before i can get tuned again and am just makin sure theres nothin else i can knock out real quick to help out

FMIC is fairly expensive and without alot of mods you wont see alot of gains.

Put that money somewhere else like Cams, Walbro, and new tune.

To make this easier to read your mods are:

Megan Racing TBE
Agency BOV
Halman MBC
KN Drop in
LICP
(Boost gauge)

Well the BOV wasnt needed. There is a tread from Rob W. about pressure drop and intake whatnot with a cone v. stock box.

Other than that, you should be good to go.

FWIW, I have a cone also (but I still use the snorkel/scoop).

Walbro 255 is a must, and cams are highly recommended. Looks like the Cosworths make more power than the GSCs (on the 9).

Walbro is not a must, but I would go ahead and install it. I'd also sell the Agency Power BOV (why in the world did you get this?) and re-install the stocker, which is better.

Don't mess with an FMIC.

O2 housing......depends on whether the bolts cooperates with you
