pm zach06cobaltsc he will hook u up with a great tune for a very fair price.
and the process is find some1 around u with hptuners pay 100 for the credits to load the tune on ur car.
and ottp will give u a tune when u get the stg1 u wont have to change it until u get meth

Go find a tuner and have them tune it. It will cost you for the credits to unlock the car the first time, plus whatever they charge to do the actual tuning. They can re-adjust the car at a later date when you actually do the mods you plan on without having to unlock the car again, and a custom tune is always better than a canned tune as long as the person knows what they are doing.

get the mods u are going to have for a while then get stg1 so u are gettin the best power out of ur mods.
intake, exhaust, heat exchanger, stg1.

ya but the best thing would be downpipe, the stock cat-back isnt very restrictive.
u will be around 255whp with stg1 and intake and exhaust
