Your tune is the most important mod you will do. Dont skimp out or go the easy route. Spend the extra money and go with a reputable tuner or learn to self tune. No one will care about your car as much as you will....

^I can't wait for one of your logs... I'm guessing 400+ whp easy...Yes I'm looking at bigger, but the dom2 is a nice pump gas turbo. I might run the stocker for a while though, lol.

I say skip on both...I would stick to bolt-ons while you're up here. Once you get back to the lower 48 the cost drops. An evo 9 should do 12.50's or lower with full bolt-on's.
