        It would be a lot harder to find a custom tune that DIDNT make more power.   -  Gunzy  2015-02-23 22:03:58 (262 views)
        
        Is there anyone that sells a full stage 3 hardware package anymore?  -  S4iowa  2015-02-24 10:12:47 (290 views)

        Yep, even APR pulled their full kit and only sell the OTS tune for a bajillion doll hairs.   -  jprice  2015-02-24 16:55:10 (210 views)
        
        Seems like most go to EPL, AMD, local tuner, or have an old kit. Oh and Frankentunes.  -  Avantugofast  2015-02-24 12:07:34 (256 views)
