I paid $4400 which included:

decat pipe
Egr blanked
Remap
Intercooler and piping
Terrafirma wheel spacers
Air strut to hold rear door open

Bruce was great to deal with....very happy

I dont know about the BAS tunes as i have no experience with it. I have heard great things however. I believe both Alive and BAS are the best out there

Intercooler is a great idea and a safe investment, both for performance and engine temps.....my 2 cents
