If you don't want to do the tune yourself, you could go with a mail order tune. If that interests you then you can go with a Predator programmer tool from a company that give you free custom tunes (PM me). I also read that one of the sponsors (I think Tbyrne) is doing mail order tunes by sending in your PCM to them. Just giving you other options. Most go with the Atap/LS1 Edit combo, but that cost too much for me at the time.

Oh man, I didn't see you have a 98. Taking out the PCM is pretty straight forward. In case you don't already know - the PCM is on the passenger side in the corner by the firewall. Here is a linked picture: PCM Picture

For the PCM mail order tune try out http://www.nelsonperformance.com/
EDIT SORRY BUT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEY DO THE 98s or FBODYS either.
