Does it feel slower than before or about the same? Maybe 334 is uncorrected numbers? What elevation are you at?

It's feels the same honestly. Idk my elevation. I'm in Kansas. I saw a 02 ss in my area on Craigslist and he went to KCMaxx and was putting down 340 to the wheels with only long tubes.

He also told me that he tuned it for speed density but he could not remember the reason for why he did so. And after a little bit of nagging he finally dropped the idle to 700 rpm after telling me that my stall was messing up and that is why it idled so quick. Also, he told me that I was not down on power and that I am right where I am supposed to be. And last but not least, he asked me " does the car have a cam in it?".
holy crap, that guy is sketchy as crap...run far away. You are better off doing a remote tune with someone who has a clue. Or learn yourself as mentioned already. If you dont want to go the remote tune route.

HPTuners is great and widely used in the LS world. You can find tutorials on Youtube to get you started.

I've heard of EFILive. How does that compare?

I've used both and efilive is a steeper learning curve but better in my opinion. It's an apple vs andriod, hpt is apple, more user friendly but not as powerful.

What do the prices usually run in those? Where are good places to buy from?

If you can use a WB and dial in your MAF and VE you are worlds ahead of most people that tune. And even that isn't necessarily hard if you have the right histograms setup. It's as easy as copy and pasting errors. If you decide to go that route and get HPT I'll be glad to help. Good Luck
