The best bang for your buck would be the hand held tuner. The two I see the most good write ups about come from Bama or Brenspeed. You give them your computer number and a list of your mods and they will create like 3 tunes for you and load them into the tuner. I have an SCT from Brenspeed with 87, 89 & 93 octane performance tunes. In addition to tuning your car, you can read and reset DTCs. When you are using a performance tune, your stock tune is safely stored in the tuner. This is handy in case you have to take it back to the dealer for something. I know Brenspeed will sell you a nice package of the tuner, tunes and a CAI. Changing tunes takes all of maybe 3 minutes. Good luck

think about what the cold air intake and a factory intake do.. look at the location of the air its getting.
yes i know i know.. cold air intake is bigger!! meaning more air!!!
wrong...
what good is a big *** air intake when your throttle body is so small??? and even if you upgrade your tb, you still have your narrow intake ports.. and really small exhaust ports.. so until you upgrade all of that your not gonna get much if any out of a big *** tube they call a cold air intake. the tune is where most of the power is at. that tune they give you doesnt just set the car up for the intake. it changes timing tables. a/f ratios. and a whole lot more. 95% of the power coming from an intake and tune is the tune itself.
and the intake that require a tune are not for the "MASSIVE INCREASE IN AIR INTAKE!". the tune is required for the larger maf size and the different air speed readings across the resistor. nothing more. the pcm is more than capable at compensating for more air flow. hence the use of o2 sensors that control the a/f ratio.
