The majority of the cars out there are only street tuned, which IMO is ok b/c if you are going to drive the car everyday on the street, there is no better place to simulate everyday driving conditions than driving it on the street.

The only thing that I will say here is that safety becomes a very serious concern when dealing with high HP cars.

get it dyno tuned, youll be happier in the end, trust me. I dont really see the logic in spending all that money on a turbo kit 2 make hp) and then cheap out on tunning??
