More Power?

I added the AWE S-Flo filters this past week, and on monday I'm placing an order for with Alex from Sharkwerks for their center muffler bypass. I wanted to know what the general consensus was on getting an ECU tune next. I'm trying to get a little more power out of the car, but I'm having trouble justifying $1500 or so only for an additional 10hp and also compromising the reliability/warranty of the car. Thoughts? Seems like short of going Forced Induction an ECU tune is all thats left to squeeze out a little more juice.

I don't think your changes warrant an ECU upgrade yet. Your stock programming should be able to adapt to the filter and muffler changes. You may find some additional HP in a complete exhaust system upgrade, although it will be $$$ per each HP gained.

Yea, I think I'm too in love with the PSE to do a full system. And even if I did, it doesn't seem like the hp gain would be worth it. I guess the only way to have more power is to start saving up for a turbo S

Maybe consider trading your car in for a turbo? I don't understand how a GTS doesn't have enough power. How does the car fall short?

Don't get me wrong the car has plenty of power and it is by far the most engaging and fun car I have ever driven. It never disappoints and is head and shoulders above the M6 i had previously. Definitely quicker than it too, just looking for a little extra power to get me closer to the 500+ I had before

If 500+ is what you're looking for, then you need a Turbo or contact TPC. They have experiences in DFI Turbo kits, mainly with Caymans, but......
