Noone will tune a cammed car for anywhere near that price. Also with a mail order you will end up taking it to get tuned bc with a cam the size of yours it will never drive perfect. Your best bet is to save up and just have it tuned by a known professional shop.

I do dyno tunes for $300 but I'm in West Chester, PA.

You'll want to get it professionally tuned though regardless... so don't bother with a mail order tune. And if you do a mail order tune, take it to the dyno and make sure the AFR is ok at WOT... sometimes they can be VERY far off for a number of reasons... bad tunes, mismatch/failing/worn parts... thats why it is important to have it in person.
