Get pullies and a spacer and you should be at the 20hp mark. You don't have to spend thousands for 20hp.

pulleys aren't going to give you HP... they aren't even designed to add hp

possibly added acceleration/"throttle response".... but that’s been debated more than any on this forum...

But it doesn't add hp - no debating that.

No. They were the only mod I wanted along with MREV when I first bought my car, but JWT just came out with the first set of cams for the rev-up. It really sucks trying to make power with 91 octane fuel... I've already advanced my timing as much as I can without losing power, so I'm not even sure if the JWT cams will do more for my car on 91...

I overlooked you are revup... Osiris allows cam timing, it helped with my OEM cams - how much will aftermarket cams and tune help N/A? Who knows... but I'll find out eventually...

I wouldn't suggest it as a first series of mods though...

Actually, I'm wrong... I just talked to my friend that does my tuning, and he was telling me Osiris does ignition timing, not valve timing, so cams will help me make more power still.

Optimizing your fuel mapping to the mods that you have done. No you can't do it yourself. You need a dyno and a computer with the proper software to flash the EMU.

UTEC is still a piggyback and you should be able to tune it yourself. Osiris is an ECU reflash, and no, you can't tune it yourself. You can dl a base map for the mods you have (which will basically be someone else's map), but since every car is different and will run differently, you won't see optimum gains until you're car is dyno tuned.
