Default 2.73's to 3.73's tune

i just bought my 3.73 gears and i am looking to get them installed some time after my next check ... i got a quote from a guy and he said that its going to run me $400 to tune my car after the gear change. now this is also a dyno tune where we will help bring more power out of the mods i have done ... i have a cable and 2 programs ... datamaster and tunepro RT... i dont know squat on how to tune my car but i would like to learn ... i know that the cable works cause i can use a program called Freescan to read off my computer how the car is running. my question is how hard is it to change the factory tune to shift right with the jump from 2.73's to 3.73's?


car is a LT1 obdI

To change the tire/gears is very easy, you can do it yourself with what you already have.
You need Winflash to read/write the tunes to/from PCM

Is not free. It has an evaluation period.
You may purchase a license, it very cheap (about $19)
