thats going to be hard to find...and if you do, you will most likely see gains that well..suck....have you considered a mail order tune??

Its better than no tune at all..
think about it..
good luck

call TSP. They will tell you which cam suits your build and send you a mail order tune if you'd like.

Like it was said above get yourself a mail order tune. You should be fine with it.

I would call someone like TSP. Get a mid-size cam and mail order tune through them.

Or get something like HPTuners and tune it yourself.

You could buy the Crane Cams handheld tuner. It has 4 different cam levels to choose from. I used it when I had my smaller 220/224 cam. I used cam level 2. It will support a cam up to 232 duration. Best handheld compared to the others.
It works pretty good. They cost $430 new, I've still got it, if you want to buy it I'd charge $350 shipped. New condition with instructions and fully transferable. -Joshua

From what I have read I wouldn't bother with the crane cams "tuner". If you are going to get a handheld get something where you can actually customize the settings.

^ I agree, or like everyone else said, get a mail order tune.

Don't get a handheld tuner. The best way is to order all the stuff through TSP and get a mail order tune to match all your stuff. They have been pretty dead on with them in the past. Truely a worthwhile $ spent.

You can customize the settings. You can also reprogram for having larger fuel injectors. It's got more options than any other handheld on the market today.
