a protune would definately bring out the best of your mods!!! if your not planning on adding any more power mods in the near future, i would definately consider a protune.

are currently running a cali stg2 map? i think a stage2 cali map would be good already, but like Norcalbugeye said a protune will probably bring out a little more power. I feel protunes just become necessary when you change turbo, injectors, fuel pumps, basically stage4 setup.

its not just power that you'll gain from a protune. you'll have much better drivability, smoother power, and its a lot safer for your motor.

yes, get a protune. I recommend EQ Tuning. Throw on an MBC + protune and the car flys!
