I've stuck with Erick's Racing for tuning. The guy tuned my 2 Liter 2 years ago this month and it still runs like the day he tuned it. No funky idle, no issues, starts right up every morning and runs smooth and strong.

Whatever you choose to do, even if it's to stick with what you've got, a good dyno tune will make loads of a difference. My old B16 was tuned by Erick as well and the difference was night and day.

Call him. It was like $250 a couple of years ago. He does a great job. He makes sure to spend time tuning the driveability first then does WOT pulls. Best mod you'll ever do.
