If you're just going for the occasional track visit and want a few extra horses for the road, a simple head unit might be all you need. If you do this, you will need to retard the timing (Votech MSD retard timing box) or with a tune/flip chip, but you can always add the "cooling" later down the road. I guess it comes down to your budget. if you're going to have a shop do an install and tune reserve an extra $2000. If you're going to do the install and get a shop to tune it.
