u can have a pcm programmed with the specifications of ur set up, check milzymotorsports.com i believe. and as far as the roll cage goes, hahaha no there isnt exactly an oem roll cage design around. thats gonna involve a lot of fabbing.

mail order pcm tune for the loss. you will be better off getting a tuner (HPTuners) and doing it yourself or taking it to a shop and having them do it. every car is too unique for a mail order tune to optimize your setup.

I looked up the hptuner and what is with the credit system ? i don't get it ?

I think I kinda get it you need credits to tune and more credits to tune different cars. correct?

Is it worth the $500 or $650 to get this or just get a reprogramed pcm ?

Yes that is how the credits work. It is totally worth the money but you also have the higher risk of messing something up. Tuning is a great skill once you figure out how to do it. There are a few poeple on this site and over at GTGA that could walk you through pretty much everything.

It's worth the money, but if you don't know how to tune, take it somewhere where they can tune it for you. You'll do more harm than good if you start messing with things you don't know about.

Roll cage? is the car running 11.49 or faster? if not, why do you need it
