Why didn't you buy a $30,000 engine and put it in an old geo metro?

Both, but if I had to choose one first, springs. Unless you got LTheaders, CAI, and Exhaust you want to tweak. If that's the case, tune first =D

Agreed, if you are bone stock you apparently wont see much of a gain...

I say apparently because that is what i have read from other people tuning with no mods...not because i have done it myself

Are you lowering for performance? For better stability and cornering? Or just solely for looks?

Pedders installed, timed and aligned is just of 600. Tune for the v6 if just over 600.
