SCT (X3 with custom tunes) or SCT (SF3 with canned tunes or you can later add custom tunes as well)...but the canned tunes will get you down the road. If you haven't added gauges...then add at least EGT gauge and open up your exhaust.

That few more MPG comes with considerable maintenance costs.

Do the tweaks and mods that improve longevity.

Good luck.. happy new year.
