a cai, headers, and hf-cats are relatively inexpensive upgrades to get you good power/torque without gettin too involved. i wouldnt get a tuner before those upgrades tho.

To specify what i meant. A tuner will be more effective once the air intake and exhahust are more free flowing. That way the tuner can more effectively adjust air/fuel ratio. Can be retuned after air and exhaust upgrades too, so i guess it really doesnt matter.
