Default Decisions, what should I buy?

So I finally have something of a steady income. In about a week or two ill have enough to finally buy something nice for the ole girl. I can't decide though.

I've been debating between Harland Sharp 1.7 Roller Rockers or the FF Dynamics electric fan setup. They're bout about the same price.

Of course there's a SCT Tuner too, but I want the custom tune options.

Someone help me

I'd say the 1.7s since it IS possible to cobble together a electric fan setup.

What do you have on it that would require a custom tune?

Nothing.... Yet. I guess I could buy the canned tunes then add the extra 100 or whatever on when I need it

That would be the best way...save the $100 until you need it for the mods.

I agree with dodge dude, wait on the electric fan, do the HS 1.7s first

And I agree with gdstock, wait on the custom tune until you need it. Canned would be good for now

But but but!!!!!!

Probably spring for the HS 1.7s. Non adjustable right?

Then fans and then the tuner.

Hmmm, what else is there?

I'd do tuner before fans. But that's me.

Unless you have plans for hardware upgrades that need a custom tune to take full advantage of you'll probably see some increase in performance with the tune.

Plus as dodge dude pointed out you can scrap together an efan kit purty cheap.
