def spend the extra 300 on the LE2...alot more potiential...and it should be fine for a while on stock tune...you will get shitty gas mileage...but if you can't afford a tune then oh well...You can go to www.madz28.com and get unlimited tunes for 60 bucks. All you need is a cable from www.akmcables.com If his car is a '94 i'll sell him my cable b/c i sold my car! Good luck!
