5. Sal's matching chip
In total, starting, idling way smoother, more refined and modern feeling. Pulls far harder than before, nice but not too loud on the exhaust note. To me it's a different, more driveable, more fun car.

4&5.
Sal is a great resource. The beauty of what he does is he won't sell you something until you've sorted the engine out to be sure it's running properly stock. Once both of you are satisfied it's running properly, Sal will make recommendations based on your budget and his experience. Sal strongly recommends an AFR gauge with wideband 02 sensor and I understand why he does. I run a custom tune by Sal with a very free flowing exhaust and I'm happy with the overall driveability of the car. As I understand it if you really want to go wild you can have the intakes port and polished, have the throttle body bored, add Sal's Maf/Injector/Tune ( he requires you to send him your ECU for inspection and installation of the chip) and really wake the car up. Once all is installed you use software to log data (afr's) and he can tweak the system to get the most out of it.
I'm not advertising for Sal, I'm merely a very happy customer and I know there are others here as well.
If you don't want to go that route I'd probably go the route my brother went and move the torque into the lower RPM range.
AFAIK our engines don't have a lot of HP difference but driving his where the torque comes in around 3K or so is a world of difference from driving my car. His is a neck snapper where mine is just "fun"
