Checking out Superchips.com isn't the best place to start, considering your ecu needs to be removed and have a "jumper" soldered, plus you want to have all mods installed prior to chip so the chip can be "tuned" to modifications. How much are you looking to spend? Installing yourself? My best advice would be a sho shop off road y-pipe(aluminum), borla catback(quieter than most, but the y-pipe will add some db's), have Sparks port your throttle body, Granatelli 75mm mass airflow sensor, and get a good intake setup(S&B Powerstack with a maf adapter and modified intake pipe,I'm not to fond of the KKM).

Yeah I have the 6" S/B funnel ram... I would not go with the KKM as it has its limits. I would buy a catback before the sho y.. just speaking from experience.

Yea that guy sparks might have info.

Call him on the cel 629-2595.

Seriously, give me a call, I'm on the west side near Cecil Field. I have an extra KKM you might be interested in.

And there's an optimized 60MM throttle body in the tool box.
