Some places will tune once and then give you free retunes for life if you pay a certain amount. See what you can find in your area.

Not worth tuning out just yet. Just go easy when you're driving as you cannot be sure where your AFR is at this point (unless of course you throw it on a dyno that reads AFR).

Once you install the parts, the tuner can then turn off the codes.
