    Vector stealth tune and a CAI would be a GRRRR8 start!

    The Vector Motorsports Stealth tune allows your ecm/tcm to be tuned without the dealer knowing. A CAI is a Cold Air Intake. RotoFab/Vararam/New Era are about the best. These 2 mods are worth close to 40HP. Check with Vector Motorsports on the left of this page.

    A cold air intake. It doesn't have to be a "vector" tune. Do some research in your area and you might have a good local tuner.

    He wanted to have the warranty intact and the last time I checked it was Vector that had the only stealth tune and mail order as well, but I appreciate your 2 cents.

    No they are in MI, but you can rent the Flash Express cables and flash it a your house. Very easy to do.
