For the TC, at any rate. I'm getting an Gillis adjustable boost valve right away, so I can turn it up a bit this summer, and have some fun. My only choice now is,
Should I get the dual stage boost valve kit, or get just the valve and replace the stock air box with a 6" K&N cone? One will give me the option of better fuel milage when I need it, and the other will just give me more power, at all times.
I know the TC's have dual stage boost, by switching to Premium fuel. I really like this option, and I can feel the difference in the seat of my pants when I throw the switch. But I can't help but feel the extra 8-10hp from the cone would make me forget about stock settings for now.

Guys I know online say around $50 US for the cone.
Oh, and it's good to be back. I've been lurking for a few days, and I forgot how civil this board is.
