OK OK OK i guess i should have expected some of that....

I KNOW it needs cleaned very bad and the basic maintenance... i just got the thing lol... I'm looking a little bit further. First thing first I will have a carwash and detail job... then the basic fluid filter change and such.... but i mean before i go out and get plugs and wires, is NGK good enough or should I go something different? Instead of just a stock air filter, should i go Cold air or does it make a difference? any misc plastics/sensors/ect I can remove and make the performance better?

Right now I plan to keep the 5m at least til she blows.... or i get the money for the 2jz. thats my plans. No sense in dropping the 7m in it. if im gunna do a swap its gunna be done right. i come from a long line of old school camaros, and i am finding out the tuners are much more difficult to get the HP out of em. I would like some expertize in this area....

and the boost will be coming.... just not til 2jz.

About the tuning... how is it done, what do i need, and where can i get it? a push in the right direction is all I am looking for... and im strictly looking for performance... you can stick a flag into a turd, but in the end its still a turd...
