Default Don't know where to start

I have a 12' base model with FI high flow cats and catback.
I'm planning on putting some drop in k&n filters and that's it.

I want to get a tune but I'm not exactly sure where to start.
I see a lot of people use uprev.
But it looks like I need a dyno?

My boyfriend knows a lot more about this than I do, but his Damn pick up truck is faster than my car right now! So I need to step up my game lol.

Thanks guys

I would check on the drop in AFe pro dry S air filter first than the K&N.

Then either an EcuTek or Uprev tune is the way to go.

This is SOOOO wrong but I LMAO, N/a you wont be able to really do much, maybe another 50-60hp. If you want a real boost in speed get your self a 4.10 rear gear, then save for a supercharger or a cheap single turbo.

the 4.10 gear will actually get you a few tenths and is probably the single best thing you could do with out busting for boost
