chip or manually do it

Well i kno the best chip is a custom one. But i was wondering which will work better buying a jet or hypertech or save the money and spend 60 on a afpr, advance the timing to 13, and run a 180 t-stat. I heard thats all a jet or hypertech chip does anyways. This summer ill get the afpr and i already got a jet 180 t-stat. I also plan on getting headers, gears, lsd, and shift kit this summer and ideas on how much fuel psi to run with all those mods including the ones in my signature? And i came to the conclusion that 13 in advance is the best timing am i right or wrong for these engines? And a 180 t-stat will work good right caz i heard 160 t-stats dont do a good job.

Don't buy an aftermarket chip, whatever you do.

just get some tuning stuff and do it yourself. if you have a laptop then you can get all you needalmost what you would pay for an afpr and t-stat, and will be infinitely better.

Umm, didnt you crash your car and decide on a V8?

On topic, Fuel pressure? Your no where close to needing to have it upped.. Your not really running many parts that actully 'increase' performance therefore, you dont need to mess with tuning yet..

tuning

How much does it cost to buy all the tuning software you need to make a custom chip where do i buy it and how hard is it to learn?

and for v8slayer i almost got a gta then it was sold before i could get to it, then i repaired the v6 and kept it.
