Vortech Tuner Kit or Full kit???? And yes i've searched already

I have been lurking on the forum and trying to read and absorb as much info as possible before I start to mod my 2006 G35 Coupe 6mt. I already bought a 5/16" Iso Thermal plenum spacer for the car which I am installing tomorrow morning. After this I want to put a Vortech Kit on the car, but i am trying to find out if i should do the Tuner Kit or the Full kit.

The car is my daily driver and I only live about 10 minutes from my office and maybe drive the car for 30-40 minutes total every day. I want it to have reliable power and from what i am reading about 370-380whp seems to be about the average on a good tune/set-up with the Vortech. I would also like to participate in track days on a road course at some point, and would be building the car towards that goal over the next year.

So here is my question. Should I buy the complete Vortech kit or the Tuner kit?? Obviously the tuner kit is less expensive because you need to source some of the essential parts yourself. I think the biggest pain in the rear for me is finding a good tuner if I went the other route, I live in Central California so I would need to travel to get it tuned.

What is the most common route on here to get a lot of reliable power out of the car. THANKS in advance.

Also I would love to do headers, high flow cat, and cat back exhaust as well but would rather do the Vortech first. Is this fine??

I would also get it tuned professionally, even if it means shipping the car to GTM or SFR (socal). No way a 'plug and play' tune and 'reliable' can be used in the same sentence.

thanks for the link. I was leaning toward full kit before reading your posts and going through the link you provided. Now I'm def going with tuner kit. Thanks for all your input. I'll start getting the parts list going now.
