Thanks for the responses!!!

In reference to the budget comment, maybe I should set the parameters... I cannot afford to do the total TVT package all at once. I need to keep it reasonable and spread it out... Father's day and birthday should take care of it over the course of the summer!

Greenghost politely asked me not to repost material that can be found elsewhere, but these responses are a great example of why I posted in the first place: there isn't a clearcut consensus. That's probably because my budget wasn't explained... or is it just that there is more than one way?

I have heard do the ECU first from several people (not necessarily on here), do the ECU LAST from one on here. For one (me) who is a complete rookie, this is something that I'd like to not screw up, so your advice is definitely not falling on deaf ears.

At this point I was looking at this order:
1. ECU retune from Inmotion ($350 vs tvt's $500), and
2. the TVT CAI w/cover for $475.
3. ? ($____)

My logic revolves around available budget, not performance theory.

Again, thanks for the help.
