Question Anyboy know were i can get a good tune / computer edit in Houston area?

My SS keeps spitting out rich and O2 sensor codes. I need a good reliable place to tune my computer. I have a cam, headers, 4.10 gears, intake manifold...

I found a shop in San Antonio that charges $400.00 with free tunes/edits for life. any + or - of a part and they'll tune it. Any of those in Houston or nearby area that anybody would recomend? i just want to be driving back and forth for this...

*ALSO*

Would it be a good or better idea to buy the power programmer myself like the slp or the hypertech? You know the handheld computer you plug into the bottom of your dash and click Y or N on it? How bad is this to learn to use? Is this even what i need? If i buy this, can anyone help me edit my car?

Any good ones you'd recommend?

thanks in advance for your help and opinions

Plenty of sponsors here in the Houston area that can do a custom tune, just look to the right --->

The Hypercrap can't adjust any timing or fuel, they just have a generic tune setting which is garbage. And the other hand-held ones are not as good as a custom tune on a dyno.


Peace,
Craig.
