I would drop out the dynotune. You do not have anything that would call for a dynotune yet.

If you get the tune you wont need a timing adjuster . I would do more mods and not do the timing adjuster and then get a dynotune later on .

I wouldn't bother with the MAF kit, they only make most of their power by leaning your A/F out, just get the K&N. Don't bother with anything else in front of the throttle body.

As for the throttle body, get one of the plenums instead of the MAF kit. By itself, it won't do a damn thing.

Forget the dyno tune too, there's nothing to tune, especially with a timing adjuster.

I personally hate chips, they take over control of the ECU and don't let the car adjust and learn like the ECU can by itself. On a N/A car with minor bolt ons, it might not be a problem, but no way in hell would I run a chip on a supercharged car.

If you HAVE to get a cold air intake, remember this:

NO METAL and NO BENDS BEFORE THE MAF

A dynotune would do wonders for your car, as it would do for most cars

Please explain. I have a homemade cold air with PVC pipes bending turning towards the fender and then turning again downwards. But no metal. What are your reasons, maybe I should bring it back up.

The bends confuse the MAF somehow... There's a Darkwolf mod where you turn your MAF toward the passenger fender to trick it because of the bends.

The bend screws with how the air enters the MAF, even with that mod where you turn the MAF 90 degrees, it still isn't right. The best setup is how it is stock, having the filter bolted directly to the MAF so the air goes straight in.

And if he has a timing adjuster, a dyno tune will do very little. 5RWHP if he's lucky and his A/F is for some reason really screwed up. If he had a full exhaust, cams, etc. then it would be a different story.

If you have an auto go w/ at least 4.10 gears, and you'll never look back, they feel great, the car revs faster, and the low end torque seems to be mulitplied tremendously!!!!!

You could always do a shift kit and/or a converter in you tranny as well......but I'd advise ya gettin a transmission cooler no matter what. They aren't expensive, and they can save you a LOt of trouble down the road...
