Its mostly stock with the exception of My K&N Cold Air Intake, and FlowMaster Exhaust I just Bought the SCT SF3 TUNER..
Has anyone had first hand experience with this ? Will I need to custom tune it or use a preset ? Will I be able to nottice the difference ? ( my car is a automatic ... haha )
A custom tun may not be necessary for that set up. You might be able to use one of the canned tunes. I would highly recommend getting a custom tune though.... YES you can tell the difference from before the tune and after. Welcome to the fourm.

HUGE difference. i run about the same settup as you with the exception of my JLT intake and a custom tune from AM (not really considered a custom tune). You can feel the huge difference in the rpm shifting throttle response and more. The first time i drove my car after the tune i actually thought something was wrong with it because it felt totally differant. I do advise you however to get a custom tune package. You can REALLY feel the difference with the 93 octane tunes (So i've heard) but i don't blame you if you don't want to run them because i can't afford the gas either.

Yeah I would Def Be down to Spend the Extra Gas Money But with the few MODS i do have would it make that much difference i just dont want to run the 93 octane if i will get the same preformance as a custom tune with the 83 you know ?
I love my car tho , Bought an automatic because i was tired of driving my JEEP WRANGLER which was a stick and figured id buy a Really fast car later on ...
also Does anyone have an opinion about wheels? I have the ugly stock ones on but want chrome or Black.. Which Would look better ? I would go with an 18 Probably
welcome to AFM and the forums. good move to get the tuner. you got the right tuner. with the custom tunes, they can get the best performance with what you have and tune the trans also. i just run the 91 octane street race tune full time in my daily driver. it gets real good performance and milage, and the race part of the tune is really set up for wide open throttle. the cost diff between 87 and 91 is pennys, and it makes a diff. they cant write a race tune for 87 octane, but they can write perfromance tunes for 87,91,93. i have each of those and the race tunes. run what you have with the canned tunes for a while. when your ready to play, you can order a race tune of your choice octanes for around 50.00. its a email to you tune, you can load it onto your tuner and into your car if gas goes back to 4-5.00 a gal, i`ll be running the 87 again too

get in your car, with your car off, key off, asses`s off, plug the tuner in above your left leg at the bottom of the dash. you can feel the plug right at the frt edge,left of the steering wheel underneath. the first time you plug it in, it will light up and automaticly download your stock tune from your car into your tuner. when thats done, follow the pronps on the tuner, pick the tune you want, select it, then follow the promps.

if your car is stock, you wont have any chips to remove. watch the screen on the tuner, it may tell you to turn the key on and off a few times during the process

Screamin daemon coil is a pretty standard mod everyone on here gets. It does also help the HP. Don't forget to get the live wire with that. Also you can always go for duels... I'm done modding for a while, Summer semester is starting and i need 1,500 by next week so i'll be drained for a while which sux cause i wanted that coil....

Sorry i didn't really explain that... just check out the link. Basically it just makes a more intense spark which in turn burns the fuel better and brings a little more power. BTW this does NOT require a tune.
