Reliable Tuning/Mods - Advice Needed

[joemama]

As title suggests, I am considering picking up some additional parts and doing a tune. Daily driving/spirited driving only. Would like to get to 375-400 HP reliably (yes, I know reliability is relative).

Current performance mods: AWE Touring Exhaust, PRL HVI
Looking to get: Intercooler + charge/boost pipe, downpipe. Let me know if anything else I'm missing here to consider...

I've never tuned a car before, let alone do any of those mods above. For those more familiar, do you think I'll run into any fatal reliability issues long-term with the numbers above? At which power number would you recommend doing an upgraded clutch (prefer not to do this)?

Also, if you're running a tune any regrets or things you learned/wish you did differently for this platform?

Thanks in advance!

This motor is proving to be really robust with bolt on mods.
I have a dp on order....but I have a hvi, front pipe, intercooler with no issues. I also have the 2step tune.

Follow your heart..... buy parts that make you happy

Our man @JesterTuned can chime in here but from my understanding you should be able to achieve those goals with your current setup.

Thanks! I looked into several threads here and seems like Jester's is the way to go! As far as tuning with current set up, I guess my only concern would be increased wear/tear on stock components leading to early failure. In that case, I may just upgrade to those additional items.. but will wait to hear back
