which tuner
I have my first vette. It is a black 2005 convertible with a automatic. I have added a k&n cold air intake and flow master exhaust. I am going to get a 160 degree thermostat next. My question is should I go ahead and get me a tuner? I have seen so many out there, which one is the best. ECS has one that can set the transmission. I just want to make sure I get one that can do it all. Thanks for the help.

ECS +1 but you don't need a tune with any of your mod's. The A6 show some improvement with a trans tune but I would wait until I got mods that needed a tune. Just a question but why are you starting with those mods. You don't need a 160 stat with 0 mods. I'm on the fence about it anyway. Just fuel for thought. You might want to search the forum before you do anything.

He's got the A4 and that will gain much from a tune. He' said he has an 2005. Also,
Welcome to the Forum and Congratulations on owning your first Vette. You made a great choice with the Vert. 2005 if I must say so.

I meant A4 and I said they do show improvement with a tune. From the results I've seen the 2005 A4 tune shows more improvement than anyother stand alone tune usually. I was just saying there isn't a point of installing a 160 tstat with 0 mods. It's my opinion that if he wants to mod his car that he start with LT's since he already has a CAI and then start tuning. Not the gospel just my $.02. I have started all my mod purchases and read tons on the subject and that just seems to be what everyone has told me to do.

To the OP, choose your mods wisely and do your tune later on like Gunterwalker said and you'll save a bunch of money unless it's gonna be awhile. The tranny tune is fun.
