I really have been wondering if I'm going to feel the difference or not. Plus I'm in stalling my Vishnu DCI I have just sitting here, at the same time. So I think I should be able to feel a difference.

This brings me to a question though...Do you think I should go get some baseline dynos before installing everything? I here a lot of people say it important to have...(not to thread jack)

Well, it's good to see you have the right answer. FMIC is definite the way to go. Even when I was Stage 1 and finished installing it, I noticed bump in throttle response and hp, not a big difference but a nice bump. Got even a better bump once the 1+ maps was released.

It's a good idea to get a baseline dyno (even if all the mods are installed, run the Stock Tune) just so you can gauge the impact & gains of all the mods you've had installed.

Also, if you've considered posting your dyno results on this forum, you'll get flamed if you don't provide a baseline dyno.

The biggest importance of a baseline is the fact that all dynos read very different.

So if you just come in and say I have 450WHP FBO people will call BS, especially without a baseline.

With a baseline we can then say that they gain may have been "90WHP" over stock which would be within reason.

The 450WHP aspect is not the "norm" but if we see a high baseline then we realize the dyno simply reads high.

The delta is important cause it shows you what you have gained.

FMIC for sure..

There are a bunch of options, and the popular brands are ER, AMS, ETS and Helix.

In heat like yours I would go with something larger then the stock core (i.e. something that will require a little trimming)
