if i had it for 98's i would do it for you but i dont and it sounds like you dont wanna spend 200 bucks. most shops would cost around there or more for tuning anyway. from what i have seen some of these shops arent doing a good job in tuning anyway

I can do a good tune for you, but it will cost $250 for a basic tune. I have thousands of dollars invested and hunderds of hours studing, reseaching and tuning in these cars. Not to be rude, but it makes me wonder why people would think I or any pro tuner would give all of that away for free or next to free.

I will also go ahead and put in a recomendation for lady redhawk. I don't have any personal experience with her but as good as all the asheville people's cars are running and she is doing there tuning I would say she does a good job.
More Perfomance did my tuning but it costs around $600 for me to have a dyno tune with a blower car. Power number are in sig.

WS6FirebirdTA00 also seems to know a lot about tuning. I have read some of his write ups about SD tuning, they are very good. He is offering a good deal to you as well.

SD tuning is about all i do pretty much, i havent calibrated a MAF yet but it is pretty strait forward i think. i think a 6 speed is easier to do. i havent done an auto yet, only thing im wondering about doing one of those is the tranny settings and how to get into SD for the initial tuning without messing with line pressure. do you just fail the maf and leave it in there, i havent really taken the time to find the info out for it yet? all my friends have 6 speeds lol one has an auto but doesnt care to tune it.
only reason i dont charge much more is cause i dont have a wideband setup yet. i need one pretty bad but ive got cars running really good without it so far, i just leave it on the richer side up top (WOT), but still lean it out a good bit from factory. from playin with o2 voltages on dynos vs air fuel ratio i found a decent way to do it. i also log lots and lots of info on runs that are made, power will show best in accel time decrease and you normally find a spot that will level out its a weird drawn out system thats hard to explain but hey its working. plus im in college and spent a lot on heads and cam so i have to save up before i can get a wideband lol.
what helps people like lady redhawk and i in being able to tune and get good end results is all the time spent in the little details. i have seen many cars come from shops around the area that were fine wot but couldnt run worth a damn at part throttle. some shops, not all, but some dont take time for details unless you pay out tons of money. just save up some money and get it done right the first time, this is something you dont want to go cheap on or get it done fast. you can really improve the way your car runs and make it a hell of a lot better. not only that but you can really help the efficency of the car out. you will find out fast who is good on here, and its the people not only giving advice but asking it. ive tried to get help from shops on my issues and ended up correcting it in ways they never have. most i have talked to lie to the computer to make it work, i dont like doing that.
