Okay, i see the points. I'm gona wait. I figure i can hold out and finish in the order i origionally decided. I just don't have the $211 to shell out to do a megasuirt unit yet and this was a good deal...
But...
on that note, is there any gains to be made with a megasquirt with my setup? I have most you basic bolt ons, intake, header, full exhaust, no cat, ARP head studs and i've gasket matched things. I saw a couple threads were 3-4hp was gained from an SAFC tune, and that's what made me really wonder.

I'm just wondering if i can gain anything from a MSNS tune hp or tq wise right now. And even more specifically if i level off the power band, cause of the stock cams, what kinda increases in track times am i looking at. Just some generlizations would be good. The reason is i've got a list going on the order i'm gona do things and i'm kinda sketchy about were to put the tune. Idk wether to put it before or after the head rebuild, ie cams, port polish etc. I figure before so i can make the most of each piece i add on, but that takes the money away from adding the ported head and cams, which will def add power. I'm just unsure as to what the best route is. The things before it are...
1. nitrous
2. v2 intake
...then i'm lost...
3. AMM ported head
4. Cams crane 16s ( i chose these for a tad better idle)
5. 60mm tb
6. intake manifold
....so on and so on. I'm just unsure were to put the tune. Before or after the head work...If i put it before, i gota tune it each time i add and that money adds up. I put it after, i lose the immediate benifit of the maximum power that each additional mod could provide.

i know i've created a couple of these threads asking generaly the same thing, but i promise its just cause i havn't goten certain answers. I'm trying to get the info i need to make sure i do this right. thanks, for your help. This will be a looong build so i am trying to get every ounce of power from my engine with every mod but at the same time i don't have the money to do things in the best order all the time. I need guidence...

I love my car...
I love Horsepower...
I love reliability...
So why do i own a DSM again?
