Ive got a madz28 tune with just cold air, 3.73 gears, tb bypass and there was a noticable difference! Madz28 claims average of 13 rwhp with basic stock car and there tune . I bet with your mods you achieve more. I think the timing and air fuel ratio in there tune would be very beneficial to you. I have also heard that pcmforless does a good job as well.

Ive tried PCM for less. I"m really happy with the out come. Those guys at pcm really know their stuff, and they are welling to work with you if it dosen't come the way you want.
Props to PCM for less.

Before not a lot of people use to tune these cars for just bolt ons, but now a days people are getting some great gains from tunning bolt on cars. I have heard any thing from 12-18 at the back tires and the cars run a lot better.

You could see a nice gain, just be aware that you won't be able to use the hypertech anymore if you get a mail order tune (though that is no great loss).
