Default DNA Tuning - only other performance mod is the removal of the pre-cats.
Car has run a best time of 12.1@115 over the 1/4mile and the times have continually improved.

Talk to Bob at Stratmosphere. Have lots of questions and a piece of paper and pencil to write down the answers. Do the same with GIAC and others that you are considering. Then make an informed decision.

Yes, it puts more strain on drivetrain components. It's worth it though, do it!!!
