I don't completely agree with the above. I think you will always gain something with tuning. Your engine will run better tuned. Not a huge deal though.

What do you need a fuel pressure regulator for? What other mods are you planning on doing?
Tuning? That's not tuning. Running a mass produced ECU chip is pointless. Even if he had a tunable EMS, he might gain a whopping 3-5hp with the mods he has...which would be pointless for the cost.

He's full of shit. You have no need to run a FPR. If you used one and turned it up, you'd just run rich...which would make you lose power.

You can run 2 anti spark plug foulers bolted on where the O2 goes, then bolt the O2 on top of those. However, if you live in a state where you have to do emissions testing, you're going to need a new cat.
