I also used madtuner before I got mine dyno tuned. It was a tad on the rich side but I would have expected that from any mail order tune. I thought it ran pretty good on the mail order especially for a specific set up like mine.

One more vote for MadZ28, Ion did a good job with the tune.

If you have any internal modifications like head/cam i would recommend a dyno tune and to check out the regional forums for your area for a good shop. If its just basic bolt ons i was very happy with pcm4less.

Thanks everyone for all the options im going to try NEWTECH performance because I have a head and cam along with longtube headers, SLP loudmouth so I would prefer a dyno tune....I have my car at a shithole of a shop right now that was suppose to have dyno tuned my car and was also going to wrap my headers in header wrap because my computer was overheating due to the the fact that the engine bay was getting to hot with the headers not being wrapped...so I took it to a shop in santa clara ca ...well it was a big mistake, he has had my car for over 9 months and hasn't done **** to it and if that wasn't bad enough while he was suppose to have been working on it he left it outside his shop and it got broken into and they broke all the windows and drilled all of the locks on my doors and stole my in dash dvd player, my amps, and my polished y-pipe...since then he has replaced the hatch, the doors, the berger panel, and all new locks...now we just have to talk about my
stereo...

Are you sure the headers are creating the problem?

My Long Tubes are not wrapped and I havnt had a problem with heat.

Sounds like you need to get it back to your place and make it happen.

yea i think its the headers because my computer was extremely hot and after driving for about 1 hour the car would turn off so i had to let it cool down for about 10 minutes and then it would start right up

You may need the ICM spacer mod if you haven't done it already.

Are you sure it's not a coolant problem. Had a buddy with stainless never had his overheat, may sound like A stupid question but do you have a different thermostat than stock
