Default Tuning ?'s

I have been in contact with a couple people but their prices seem a little steep for what I want.

I have a '98 T/A and it's programmed for mods (383 stroker with many upgrades) that I dont want to run on the new setup.

Basically I just need to computer flashed to Completely stock shape. Who can do this and for how much?

I just removed the PCM and i need it done asap!!

The other option is... I am doing some mods and plan on doing a full tune when I do H/C in the future. The mods below are what will be in the car now:

Mac mids
SVO 30lb
LS6 valley cover
LS6 intake
ported TB
85mm MAF
LS6 oil pump
stock A4
SLP lid


So the other option would be program this stuff in and then add the other stuff later?

**** I dont know, let me know what you all think! Thanks!

Buy your own tuning software from HPtuners or EFIlive, read this forum until your eyes bleed, and be confident in knowing that you will never have to waste money paying someone else to tune for you. Most tuners are going to charge about what the software costs, and if you make more changes you have to pay them again. Unless you make really big bucks/hour, it will be well worth the time you invest in learning to tune for yourself.

Yep, if you just want to flash to stock a tuner will do it out of the box for nothing more than the cost of the unit. efi is selling their v1 units with 98-02 fbod support for a bit over $500 (not sure on hpt costs), then you are all set for dealing with your mods as you do them.

Buy HP tuners or EFI Live and do a lot of reading here on this forum. You will eventually learn how to tune yourself, which is much better than taking it to a tuner everytime you add mods.
