Alright people with experience weigh in I'm probably going to do a soft loader and not much else since I'm probably going to purchase the all important VIP warranty Monday before the rates increase .Which one is going to give the best performance increase on a stock car,including giving the best curve?

On another note does installng tme springs void the suspension warranty normally?

Would it cost only $100 more for a tune that included exhaust, dp and fmic if I do those first and then get the stage II software from RICA? (I don't have any ECU tune yet)

Basically:

1. first FMIC
2. then exhaust/dp
3. finally a RICA tune right after

Or same thing with IPD? Only $500 more for all the mods if I do a IPD tune last? Or is it $100/$500 for each mod regardless if I did it before any ECU tune?

I got the Stage 1 RICA tune for $1k, and then added a DP a few months later. I paid $100 for the Stage 2 tune from RICA. Once I get the FMIC and upgraded turbo, I'll get another tune and it will cost $100.

I am sure that has been discussed many times but I never read that exact line where it says how much would a stage 2 cost at the first time. I already have DP, Exhaust and FMIC and no tune at all. Now I want to get stage 2 right away. How much would the IPD be and how much for the RICA?

If you decide to go with the RICA Stage 2 upgrade right off the bat, the price will still be $999.99. We will not charge the $100 remap fee http://********************/smile/emthup.gif http://********************/smile/emthup.gif
