We also have Vince at Trifecta that does tunes, look for their sponsor link to the right (because they haven't fixed the index list yet).

the route I went, was I bought HPtuner to tune it myself....but I admit I really don't know what I'm doing. The main purpose for it though is for my project pickup with a 5.3L in it, I'll have to do some computer work on it just to get it running....just so happens that I could use it on the vette too....Otherwise Ellis will do a good job.

Tyler, wait until you actually get a few mods on the car that truly cause it to need a tune. Like a cam, heads, etc... Then take your mom out for a real ride. Also tell her I say hi...
