Question Where to get a PCM?

Anyone know where I can get a PCM for my car, either new or used? I have the mods listed below and want to tune my car. The problem I have is that I need my car. I don't have time to take my PCM out and have it sent somewhere. I either need a PCM that I can send out, or a shop that does it all in house, including the programming while it is still in the car. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I have heard of MMS, but I can not get ahold of them to find out how they work, how long it will take, and how much $. I heard they are expensive too. Has anyone gone there and if so, how are they to work with? Thanks for reading guys and please let me know.

I can't remember exactly, didn't save the invoice.
I think it was more like $150 +/-. Bought a '98
flex plate at the same time & I think the total
was around $200.

But, ask the man and he'll tell you. I got
a fair price, and no fooling around - bang,
delivered.

Seen there was one in the For Sale section of this forum, it was for a 2000, not sure if it is the same for your car.
