Default Power Tuning Question

Have a 1997 Anniversary Edition SS M6 convertible. Have done the following:

1. Replaced the stock air filter with a Fram Air Hog....noticable difference
2. DMH Electric Cutout installed....sweet
3. Removed "Cone of Silence" from exhaust.....noticable difference
4. Throttle Bypass Kit...to be installed
5. Considering purchase of 1LE intake bellow to replace stock one
6. Lou's Short Stick installed...noticable shifting difference...quicker
7. BMR Strut tower...hugger orange...appearance

Basically want to keep it as stock as possible but increase the HP within those limits. What can I expect from a Custom Tuning (HP wise) and approximate price? Also considering that I'm keeping it as stock as possible, is something like a Hypertech tuner something to consider? See all kinds of comments pro and con on those. Thanks...just need some advice from those who have been there, done that. In Olympia. Thanks

Your mod's are very light. I am sure we could still pick up some as the LTx cars were very rich in contrast to the very lean LSx cars. It has been a while since I tuned a LTx car as stock as yours

I will shoot you a PM

I have a friend in Olympia and she swears my car isn't rare because she sees it all the time in her town! Maybe that's you Where did you pick up the car by the way?

Yep...that's me....only one around here that I know of. That is, if she is seeing a 97' SS Anv. Edition Convertible, usually with the top down, moving quickly. A doctor in Puyallup used to own it. I'm the second owner.
