well if he wants something that is pretty much plug and play and just wants a little extra he can get a diablo, ppe, edge, banks it does not matter. its if hes one of those guys who doesent want to be messing with much then he could get one of those.

for daily driving he wouldn't want to go over 80hp on the tune, any more the trans will slowly start to get weaker and then you will eventually need a rebuild.

duramaximizer is a nice booger for on the fly
