Inexpensive, easy to use, multiple fuel curve programs (can change them on
the fly) and the "cool factor". :)
Definitely find a local shop that can dyno tune the fuel system - the
performance gains (and fuel economy if tuned properly) outweigh the
headaches associated with custom flashes and/or "chips".

It seems the best route to go is to find a local speed shop that does tuning
and has a dyno, correct?
Why did you chose Apexi?
