JCL will become famous soon enoughJCL will become famous soon enough
If your goal is more hp, there are no upgrades that will make an appreciable difference, short of supercharging it.

use the 5,000 and put it towards the maintenance and repairs. if you'd like some performance software for the DME and EGS, i can send you a programming package and i can program your vehicle remotely. the package will cost $85 and i will send you the cable and you can keep the cable afterwards. all you need is a high speed internet connection, laptop with 2.0ghz with 2gigs of ram and a stable power supply device.

$5K that is enough for a week worth of gas. LOL actually now that I think about it, that statement is not too far off.

For $85 that's a bargain. Just do it.

curious if this is available for the 4.8is and what would be a realistic expectation of gains other than throttle response?
