custom tune it

Yea, I always read stuff (no personal experience) about them running poorly due to the change in intake volume or something like that. Anyway, from other stuff that I have read, a custom tune will take full advantage of the better flow. How much did you pay for the SPT and where? I was thinking about getting one. I haven't done anything to my car in a while and it's getting borring. That came with the CARB sticker right?
