You can have your PCM sent out for a mail order tune. PCMforless, MadZ28, etc. They all do that. You tell them what you would like to accomplish and what you need and they will flash your PCM and mail it back. As for the free mods here is a site that outlines the general ones http://www.lt1howto.com/articles/lt1freemods.htm

For a 93 tune they use a chip and carrier that is plugged inbetween the stock chip and ECM. This chip contains the new programing, in effect overriding the stock chip.
So when you request a tune the tuner will initailly send you the chip with the new tune+carrier. you open you ECM, remove you stock chip and install it on the carrier (that also contains the new program chip), then plug that assembly into your ECM and this is how the stock tune is modified. If you require the tune to be adjusted/changed you send the chip back and the tuner will reprogram it. You don't actually send then you computer like with a 94+ ECM.

^^^^well that prity much sums it up right there. Just send fill out the sheet w/ your mods and pay and you should be good to go. I've had best luck w/ Pcmforless mail order tune. 24lb injectors are not needed for a bolt on car, if anything get yourself a new 255lb fuel pump.
