New mods to 05 MCS

I am relatively new to the Mini mod world but I think my foray has been well thought out and put into reality. I have a M7 16% pulley, M7 SS CAI, & M7 anniversary strut brace, H-Sport rear sway bar, and a Alta Sportone 2.5" exhaust. I am absolutely delighted with the performance so far but the only thing I might add is a Unichip upgrade. Any thoughts? Oh, I am also waiting on Dayton Wire Wheels to show up for the 17" Nitto Neo-Gens in my garage. Freakin' Pumped!!!!!!!!!

Don't get a chip - Have Jan @ RMW do a true re-program tune instead.

I haven't installed all my parts yet, but I would also recomend a tune from Jan. I have read about 1000 posts about his work and he also has a mention in the newest MC2 mag. Well worth the wait to have him do it.

pass on the UNI, get a custom tune from Jan, it will tie in all of the mods and wake up the car.

The Dayton's should be in my hands in about 2 weeks, been waiting about 3 weeks already. When in, pics will be aplenty. Don't know about the pulley belt but I'll check with my install guy and advise.

Hint:
search for RMW... When you've finished reading all the threads/posts that search yields, you'll know. Of course, it will take you 2 weeks to finish reading the search results.

Stay away from the Unichip...
