Lightbulb Need major help!!!!

I need help with a base tune for my car. i have the hp tuners pro software but don't have the afr meter yet. I have an 2001 camaro with a 6 speed. Headers cam (238 240 605 609 on a 112 lsa.) 4.10 gears. stock injectors, 85mm maf and throttle body. I just need help getting started until i can really learn this tuning software. I've been reading and reading but i'm saving to attend the tuning class. I can't keep driving like this. It feels like i'm driving a race car. Not a street car. I'll even pay for a tune if you can send me the file. I just can't send my pcm off. Cause it's my daily.

Thanks and did you have to tune off any thing for it to read properly. I read something about if you don't turn off the map or something, it messes with your tune.

you can actually get driveabilty without a wideband. you just have to watch your o2s and do your adjustments based off the voltages. I had a wideband but i know this is how some do it and i personally watched madz28 tuner do this on my bros car when we took it to get tuned so i know it works. their are some writeups on here and at hptuner.com that explain it better
