Wait to tune it after you get your heads and cam installed. No point in tuning it now, and then getting stuff installed, and paying again to get it re-tuned.
i got a madz28 tune, and its awesome.. also Ion, the owner is great to work with... that being said, if you were to get a heads and cam package, id say skip the mail order tune, or the 'chip' and just get it dyno tuned.

94+ don't use chips like 92-93 (or other ECM applications, like I think up to 96TBI).Madz or PCM For Less.
I will +1 on the Dyno Tune. I was going to mention it, but didn't know if you wanted the option since it isn't very cheap. I think somewhere around $500+

The dyno will more specifically tune it, from my understanding. Mail-Order is Guessing Science. They know what to do, but every car performs differently, so they can't tune it as well as if they had your car with them. The dyno gives sensor read outs and they data log. That's the benefit of it all. Again, from my understanding.
