Default STS turbo questions

Hey guys i don't know much about forced induction but i'm now considering a sts kit for my car. I have a 95 LT1 z28 with bolt on stuff and stock motor. I'm not looking to have a crazy amount of hp but i've had the car for 10 years and i need a little extra power! I think that's the way i want to go. Anyways i was wondering what is the best tuning option for it? Do i have to get a dyno tune or is mail order ok also??Also thinking to go with a meth kit so what boost can i run with that?? I've tried to search on here and read a lot about not going over 7 lb's but what about with a meth kit/intercooler?? Any help would be appreciated since i'm just learning about this stuff!! Thanks

bigger injectors.
dyno tune generally would be best.
I hear frost does really amazing mail order tunes.
if your running a 60e, it will die.

And if anybody could give some useful information on boosting the lt1s, that would help me as well.

Ima take the procharger offa my truck and throw on my 94 t/a t56 lt1.
Gonna throw some turbo back on my truck if and when i fix it....
