How much moola you looking to spend on a tuner? What, if any, mods to plan on doing down the road in way of engine/cams, etc? These are some things that will influence your decision. If you're doing nothing but pipes and A/C and you don't want to drop a lot of cash, you might consider Fuelpak. If you want more mods and still don't want to spend too much, consider PCIII. I personally would go with the SERT but it costs a little more. Then if you really want to spend some cash and get a good setup, consider the Thundermax or DTT units.

I have the T-max and really love it. Makes so much sense to spend the extra bank to be able to save money in the long run doing the tuning yourself. JMHO guys at Zippers are super and the info you can get in here is TOTALLY worth it. Good luck - and I'd like to see those pics myself

ThunderMax w/auto tune, as far as pipes just get a set with o2 bungs in them. Don't get V-H the rear bumg is in the wrong spot.
