ACPT DS vs Protune?

aakrusen · 06-22-2008, 05:18 AM

Right now:
AP Stage 2, 3" TBE, K&N Panel

What would be the better choice?
Protune plus adding Walbro, CAI, and colder plugs (roughly $800)
or
ACPT Carbon Fiber Driveshaft (roughly $1100)

If both are ideal then which should come first?

I did the ACPT first. Then went stage2 later. The CF DS won't increase your HP but will help free up some of what you have. It really pays off as you start to increase HP. I'll get a protune soon.

I'd say get protuned first. You'll have a safer, smoother, more powerful setup. The ds later will be the icing on the cake.

I've experienced both modifications.

I say you get the car tuned by a reputable tuner.
