Car newbie and confused :(

so i just install my 5/16 motordyne plenum spacer and abouts to order FI HFC or Berks HFC and someone told me i should bring my car and get it a tune up for it. What did you guys think? should i get a tune up after i install my HFC with the 5/16 mod thats already installed and what shop will do a right tune up for the right price if so? and getting the HFC and 5/16 plenum will any of these mods void my factory warranty? thanks i really appreciate the fast replys i get on this site. thanks!

Well a tune and a tune up are different things. A tune up is what you get done at the dealer and usually involves something like changing spark plugs. That one is between you and your chosen maintenance schedule.

After a few breather mods like intake, exhaust, etc, most people recommend getting a tune. There are a bunch of options - Uprev Osiris, Cobb Accessport, some others. Opinions differ of course so do your research on the site. If you have a bunch of other mods planned, you may want to wait. Osiris doesn't require a shop - they just send you a cable to reflash the ECU and customize your tune based on your mods. Cost is about 500.

Can't speak to your warranty - call your dealer to confirm.

I have some berks HFCs for sale if you want them. as for getting a "tune" i would get a tune once you have everything on the car and have driven around with them on the car for a couple hundred miles just so everything is at where it needs to be. I would go with osiris as they can email you files that you can put in the car to update the ecu for whatever mods you later on decide to change or add.
