Well I see you listed you have an ORY,so Im assuming you dont have any cats? I emailed him about tuning my TA when I got my headers put on,but he cant get rid of emissions codes just so you know,thats why I went with PCMforless..But I hear good things about MadZ28 tunes,and he got back with me quick when I had questions,which is always nice.

but he i heard it is cheap to so that is what i am going to do 
I've had my tune from Ion for about a month now, No EVAP, EGR, CAGS, and I run O2 sims for the rear O2's. Great so far and miles away from the tune that was on it from the previous owner.
Car is coming back from paint this week, so I'll see if it passes the emissions scan next week.

Also, the OPs car is a 95 which is still obd1 so no post cat 02s, so no need for O2 sims.
I vote for Madz28 personally.
I started with a baseline from Madz and he was very close. After a summer of tweaking the tune I picked up another 2 tenths in the 1/4. He is always willing to help. I bought the lifetime tune so I can always start with a new baseline when I change things.

He did a great job turning the LT1 in my Vette. I sent the PCM out and got it back in 2 days. Unbelievably quick turnaround for me. I live in NY so I'm not too far but not super close either. Come to think of it I need an update to the tune this spring.
madz28 does GREAT work. I had a small cam and with stock 3.23 gears I was running high 13's like 13.9, after I did 3.73 gears and his tune I dropped 1 full second which was HUGE! he also is known for doing the dyno tunes at Speed Inc.
