Default parts that can be used with stock computer?

im about to give up on my car completely, im sick of all the stuff i go through for a few more hp..

question is, will the stock computer work with the stock cam while keeping all my other modifications, or will it still require a tune ? ive had my car at a shop for over 2 months now for a dyno tune and they still havent gotten to my car, they keep giving me excuses left and right... i want to just go get it and go back to stock cam and computer, as no one seems to be able to get the tune right with my setup. if you dont know exactly what your talking about please dont respond.

You ought to get it back at least, maybe try a mail
order tune like from "wait4me" where you get a new
PCM with the tune in it.

No telling whether your other mods cause trouble or
not, since you don't mention what they are.

You could enjoy the car for what it is, and get off
the "mo powah" treadmill. Not necessarily going back
to stock, just pick a setup that you can be happy
enough with. Because there's always somebody
faster no matter how much you spend or how hard
you work.

That's not an extra ordinary setup you have there, it should not take that long to tune it. Unless the shop is just terribly backed up with work and without further information, sounds like you might just have an inexperienced bunch trying to fix your car with a tune. That's not going to happen.
