If you are in Brisbane i would talk to RDP that just happens to sponser the site... I had one of there systems fitted to my au xr8 and i am very pleased, price is 1500 bucks installed and tuned and it took them about half a day. Also with the mods it may not be worth doing until you have some head work and or a different cam.

There are plenty of good cams available, do a search and several will pop up with info on what else they have had to do to get the power they have. Have a look at oed666's and useless car to name a few that have very fast examples of an I6 powered N/A vehicle.

As has been explained it's prob best to save the ecu flashing (tune) until you've done all your other engine mods otherwise you'll just have to pay to get it redone if you change something.

Work out what you're doing with the car first then decide what you want to do.

That depends on who you get the tune done through. There is at least one tuner that charges once, and retunes for most mods for dyno time only ($50 to $150).

If you're able to hook that sort of deal up, then go for it. Modify away !
