Would it be worth it?

 Right now I have I/H/E/P. Would it be worth while to upgrade my fuel rail, injectors, get e-manage, and get it tuned? I assume I will see a HP increase but for the money spent is it worth it? I do plan on going Turbo and will have to upgrade the fuel system and get e-manage anyway, so it wouldn't be a complete waste of money.

with your current setup, an eManage with tune couldn't hurt, but there is no need for bigger injectors unless you're F/I

The stock fuel system can handle N/A power

 So just an e-manage with a tune? What type of numbers could I expect and would I be better off with just the e-manage or the e-manage ultimate?

I've heard other users claim an increase of 20 whp using an eManage

BoostHerWay has eManage Ultimate, you can ask her

If anyone else can offer feedback on N/A tuning, please do.

 Really wow that is pretty good. I wonder how much a tune will cost for this and how much gas I will be losing due to the power, lol.

 the ultimate gives you more tuneing options than the regular blue emanage. you don't need to change the injectors until it is necessary. the stock rail flows just fine unless you are talking about running some serious power but again i would wait until you need it before messing with it. that way if for some reason you change your mind and don't turbo or anything you wouldn't have waisted the money on those items.

Car is being put on hold until further notice. Work will continue pending on if i get the new toy i want or not. I will keep you all posted.

UPDATE ON THE TUNE. It went ok but a few little issues that are causing my performance to be less than expected have shown themselves. Now I have to resolve them when I get the chance and it will be back to PTuning for the finishing touches.

 The ultimate allows more points of adjustment on the fuel curve, and it also allows for two sets of maps. If you're going to go turbo, and plan on doing some real boost, then I'd get the ultimate now so that you have the added tuning flexibility. This will allow you to set a mild and a wild map for when you are running the track (or racing :twisted: )I didn't know you were planning on going turbo when I replied to you yesterday. Hope that article helped

 Yeah it has thanks. I will most likely go with the ultimate cause it seems like that you be the smartest buy for my situation. How long would it take to have it tuned, one hour maybe two?

 That sounds about right. It'll take a little longer if you want to tune two sets of maps though. There were a couple of ultimates on sl classifieds earlier this week. You may want to take a look over there. Also, pm carcandy if you go new, cuz i'm sure he can get a deal.
