    What's up guys?

    Been reading a lot on the various forums. I picked up a bone stock '13 Speed 3 (with only 19k miles) in July.

    I've since added
    -AP V2
    -Cobb SRI + TIP
    -Autotech internals
    -unknown brand test pipe
    -CPE Tmic

    currently waiting to get the OTS 93 base tune and 33% E85 base tune. So quick question............ Should I upgrade to a full tune? I also have a BNR S3 V1 I picked up real cheap. I'm going to get that rebuilt when I have the money, and either install it when I have time or the stock K04 blows. So the initial plan was just use an OTS map until the BNR goes in. But that's probably going to be a while, at least 6 months. I'm not seeking the highest whp possible. I'm seeking a safe map I can mash on without worry. What do you guys think?

    Future plans would be 17x9 RPF1 (is a 5mm spacer up front required?), and a rear sway bar

    Go get a pro tune. Hypnotic and Dizzy are both authorized tuner vendors here. I recommend them highly. You can always update as needed, but OTS maps are junk.

    You will honestly be amazed at how much of a difference a pro tune makes, not only with power but with drivability and MPG.

    Hypnotic FTW

    I have Rob's very first map in the car now. It's making the same power as a revised OTS map. So......... This should be fun :)
