Lightbulb works or vishnu?

hi newbie here from the bay area. I am looking for dependable hp upgrade. What would you guys suggest? and also who should I go with works or vishnu? what stage is best? or should I just go with the basics and keep my factory warranty? I intend to use the car for daily driving

thanks

vishnu is clean and dependable, start with stage 1 and move up from there....but in my opinion i would follow buschur for good power and better customer service

I would go with the BR stages. Also, if your going use it for a DD, try some suspension mods.

WORKS FTW! I think they're more conservative from a tuning standpoint, and expensive, yes --- but the fact that the majority of their products are developed in house via "real-live" engineering R&D, and have a factory-matched warranty puts my mind at ease.

does vishnu match the factory warranty same as works? factory warranty is important to me since i have no intensions of converting my mr to a full race or track car. just want more dependable hp. bpu only no internals.

NEITHER! Call Andy at Speed Element or Mike @ GST motorsports. See norcalevo.net for more info on both these awesome tuners. and BTW Works is NOT safe or conservative.

Lol yeah.. its kind of hard to be unsafe, yet make less power than others but they seem to be able to do it.

If you want 400 flywheel hp go with the vishnu stage 1 for the 9. (tbe and flash)
+ this approach leaves you with a stock intake, and bov so your engine bay will look bone stock, so if you get pulled over the cop wont be able to do **** to youl.
If you dont care about power and just want to spend money then do what you want.

While your there, shiv could probably tune a lot of your cars as well, including your 911tt. He made over 80 whp on pump gas with a 996 911tt with just a REFLASH!!

WORKS makes the best parts. Shiv (Vishnu) is a great tuner.

Also, Andy @ speedelement is a great tuner.

I just got an Evo IX. I noticed on Vishnu's site, the flash alone gives a 110 fly wheel HP upgrade. That is a pretty big jump with just a flash... Does the WORKS flash do the same affect? Their site only states a 20 HP upgrade but at the same time, they don't specify the 8 or the 9, etc. Any help?
