well i gots an appointment with the srt place this afternoon to get a baseline first and see if it can benefit from being tuned, which i thought it might but the dude says until you baseline it you can't just assume that it needs to be tuned. so this afternoon it shall be base lined then tuned if need be... sounds kinda fun...

Newer cars like our GS is on the lean side already from factory COMPARE TO say like the first "gen" SC. You might be able to squeeze some power gain out (assuming everything is factory) if you have a piggyback controller. If you want to save gas, just put an egg under your gas pedal and drive 60 everywhere you go... (just a suggestion, don't flame me)
...go to Boomslang.us. I bought my CUSTOM PnP harness to fit the SAFC Neo on my GS400. It cost me $240/shipped but at least I don't have to hack into my ECU and the wires.

SRT makes an intake that comes with a piggyback ecu pre-tuned for your car as well as a full intake, filter and heat shield. Do a search on the forum for SRT Intake, you will find it's one of the best bang for the buck mods and I think they are only $449. Another plus is SRT is in Maryland (Beltsville) so you can just go pick it up and or have it installed in one shot, takes them about an hour to install it, they also have an in-house dyno if you wanted to see the before and after results so you know for sure you got what you paid for.
SRT intake with their piggback is good but with the AFC controllers (SAFC (II) & Neo) you can tune and then re-tune with every mod you get. For example I got just under 270whp and 296wtq with TM plugs, K&N intake and a borla rear section with the addition and tuning of my SAFC Neo! Baseline (stock) is around 235-245whp....and when I get my new Y-pipe (because apparently I had a crack in mine at the time of my dyno runs; #'s above) and S&S headers I will re-tune it on the dyno to squeeze some more out. Can't do that with the SRT setup.

Have them put the afr on the dyno sheet and in rpm not mph. It will be easier for a later comparison.
