K&N drop in filter and Trifecta tune...will get you a decent gain and cost about $250-$300

Decent gain meaning better HP and TQ curves, but only maybe 10 HP and 10 lbs/ft of TQ over stock MAX. But it will wake up the engine in the middle of the power band

Make sure if you go Trifecta that you go through us. We're their largest dealer and get the quickest service from them, plus we're much cheaper than Trifecta direct.

K&N intake and Trifecta tune, drives and sounds way better. The transmission tune alone would help a lot.........I did it for a total of....310.00.Oh yea don't forget the SS oil cap, it adds 5 horse power..

Do you cut deals for members? I have a 2009 2.4l and would like to do a tune. Thought about a header and down pipe with cat.
