Default Where to get tuned?

Hey guys, I'm soon looking to get my car tuned once I put everything on. It will only be a minor tune, as I'm only gonna have a Lid, LTs, catted Y, and either a hooker aerochamber or a GMMG catback (can't decide). I'm just wondering were I should go to get everything tuned. I'm probably getting rid of the AIR and possibly EGR and I'll need that tuned out as well as the rear o2 sensors. So, where should I go and how much am I looking at approximately? I live in Mechanicsburg PA, just south of Harrisburg, so the closer the better, but I don't mind driving a bit to find the best deal/tune. Sponsors, speak up please!!

Yes, I saw the sticky, I just want to see everyone's opinion. On a side note, other than having the SES light on, if I were to remove the AIR and EGR right now and put everything on, how would my driving be affected until I get the tune? I read on here before about it and some said that it might hurt gas mileage, run rich, ect.

From Mechanicsburg I would say hit Harris Speed Works.

I still don't understand why more people don't just buy tuning software and do it themselves, it is so easy. A little common sense and a laptop is all you really need.
