first things first - upgrade the ins & outs, get a higher flowing intake, fix the restricting mouth piece with an LBZ or Kodak one, and a 4+ inch exhaust. ether turbo back (best) down pipe back (good) or cat back (ok) exhaust

unless you drive with out clothes...

no, EFI Live is the best in terms of customization. light HP increase, tow tunes, high HP, race tunes, etc

what ever you want EFI Live can probably do
