Get yourself a Vafc and have it tuned. Because the 00-02's run richer than the newer models, you'll see some pretty good gains from a well tuned Vafc.

Re: (iam7head)
you actually have to reprogram the ecu (ecm). I had mine replaced and had to take it to the dealer because it's programmed from a dealer-only tool. they put the vin # into the ecm and all that stuff.

Re: (S@nt0s)
yeah, I forgot to mention that. the ecm is reprogrammed to accept the transponder in the key. I guess it makes sense that you could do it the other way and reprogram the key... but not sure. the dealer will know for sure.

It depends. Think about what you're trying to get out of the car. If you have bigger goals, get the AEM EMS.
