    are you planning on this being a daily driver especially in lot's of traffic or just a weekend/night car? itb's will have better throttle response and some more gains, but also less driveability...you would probably get used to it, but itb's probably won't be good on a commuter car.

    Depends if your girl likes you smelling like pump gas or not. You have to tune it for the climate, altitude, etc. Seasons change then you'll probably need to re-tune it, etc.

    Throttle response before power.

    As Josh mentioned, you can get just as much or more power from a proper intake manifold and throttle body setup anyways.

    Personally if it's a hot performance car then I want to see ITB's on it :boobies:

    In any tuned vehicle changes in climate will effect it: temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, etc. The question is can the ECU or Standalone compensate for it.
