Decided with nothing more really to do to the car, thought I'd give OV Tuning a try with all the good words i'm hearing from the 2IS crowd recently
More usable power cant hurt.

https://www.ovtuned.com/collections/...ecu-bench-tune
Will be going with the "3IS Stage 2 with Sport + Throttle mapping" Tune



ECU out of the vehicle and ready to ship out next week.

It was cheaper! and my thoughts are that i will leave it and not reflash if it is good.. I did not have him do an aggressive tune too far from stock.
Hope it is able to pass smog with flying colors when its time, if it does then definitely no need to go back to stock.

Please keep us posted on the tune! Always wondering if it is worth the money on this car.
