I would not recommend "driving it like crazy", until you know the tune is appropriate for the car. It's got some mods so you should assume it's been tuned too. I suggest finding a good shop and getting a fresh tune that is safe. You'll be sad if you blow up your motor.

You can blow your motor with only these mods? That is surprising. I've not been driving it crazy by any means. I'll hook up with a tuner soon.

I suggest that you might not blow your motor with three mods but the car may already be tuned and you have no idea who did it, whether it was done correctly, under what conditions, that sort of thing. So, it's an expensive car and probably worth the trouble to get a fresh tune.

I absolutely agree. It's the first thing to do on my list!

You can blow your motor with or without mods. That's up to the driver. But, an incorrect tune can lead to damage or at least poor drivability. Getting someone to check the tune is a good idea. I need to do the same thing.
