Engine Mod Advice

Need some advice, I have a "lightly" modded 06 MCS. I have a 15% Alta, CAI, and I have a set of JCW injectors I want to install. I have been advised that I won't need an immediate re-map of the ECU, obviously that is the intent but I want to get something here in Cleveland and I have not been able to locate anyone. Any opinions? I am sure there are a few

Thanks in Advance

Ray

Those are good starting points. There are lots of thread about this, try searching. Get an exhaust or one -ball before ECU tune. I myself is only aiming to that stage. Please add also a 19mm sway bar (stiffest setting) and you'll be amazed how much handling will be improved. Happy motoring!

Got a one ball from IE. I also have a big rear sway bar, adjustable upper and lower control arms, I have springs and I changed out the tires with non-run flats. I am just curious if I need to retune the ECU with installation of JCW injectors
Thanks

I think to see any benifit from the injectors, you'll need a tune. Else the computer wouldn't realize there is more capacity, right?
Seems to make sence.

Ok, looks like a consensus is a tune, I know Jan is going to be in Rochester, but anyone know if he is coming to OHIO, or if there is a good (not necessarily the best) tuner anywhere near Cleveland?

Thanks

we also hope Jan is going to be back in Detroit in June, again very close to Cleveland.

But no, there is no one in Cleveland.
