As far as tunes go, I had the Cobb AP, but I have to say the latest updated HyperTech is a BADASS piece of work, and is safe too. Just to give you a second option from the whole "Cobb or bust!" opinion on NASIOC.
Phelan so you didnt get a protune? I think from what ive been reading a custom protune is better for my needs because I want safe AFR ratios (as the factory tune is very lean up top) and some added power while im at it. I dont plan on doing anything other than exhaust, wheels and tune on this car as its a lease and I might either trade it in for a newer iteration or just buy it out.
