Pro-Substancial increase in performance
Con-recalibrating for state inspection & keeping the stock stuff around for resale.
The bottom line? The pro outweighs the con

Well it seems like there's really no negatives here ha. Except for the price. Which I'm pretty sure I found a great deal on a used unlocked combo. What level octane rating programs are you guys using??
