    a flash tuner changes perameters in your ecu like fuel and timeing, when your fans kick on all kinds of crazy stuff.

    from the factory the tune on your car is rich on fuel and not as aggresive as it could be. so leaning out your fuel and adjusting your timeing will give you more horse power, i recomened taking it to a shop for the tune if you have never done it before.

    i like diablosport but some guys swear by sct. i would do some reserch and talk to guys that have em on the same car you do. and for the blower, HELL YEAH. if you can swing it you will get alot more power from a power adder. but imo a tuner will def be needed if you do get a blower

    I put the jlt intake on mine with a sct tuner. the intake requires a tune anyway. Very noticable difference. I am running a 93 octane torque tune. I bought my tuner used and cheap. I then had to order a tune which was emailed to me and put that on the ecu. Worked great. I am looking to do gears next. I already have flowmasters. I havent decided if I want to go with a supercharger or instead go with cams and all that. Love the sound of cams on these cars.
    Also, visually, if your not lowered, you ought to be. It can be done pretty cheaply. I shortened the fishing pole antenna to look better. Different rear spoiler. Just do what you like. Everyone has their own opinions on what looks good.

    Most sc's for your car come with a tuner so buying one seperate would be a waste of money.

    I believe the tunes stored are also different than an off the shelf one..

    I dont claim to know alot about a cam and head swap, but from what I understand you can probably get away with about half the cost of a supercharger. You will probably only get about half the horsepower increase too. For some of us, thats enough. What I am curious about is daily driver issues (gas mileage) and all that. Not that I really care. The easiest thing to do is buy the supercharger and your done. I use the word "done" loosely! Just keep in mind. If your going to buy a supercharger, dont waste your money buying an intake, tuner, underdrive pulleys, ect....You will just have to take most of it off.

    the standard hp kit(420hp) is $4421 and the high output kit (460hp) is $5683.. installation on these kits ranges from $450-$650, i could make you a package deal on the kit and installation labor.. and you will need it tuned, i can get this done for $350..
