Default 05 GTO tune help

I need tuning advise for a 05 GTO. The car is a M6, Kooks stepped headers to full 3" with Borla XR1s at the back. Has an intake and is stock other than that. I am not interested in tuning the car myself and just need some good advise please.

I was wondering if it would be worth it to either have a mail order tune or have it dyno tuned? Also I noticed some hand helds like the Diablo and was wondering if this is something a novice can use?

I live in CDA, ID but Spokane Washington is the closest real town. Anyone know a good shop or have advise on picking a good shop to have a dyno tune done?

Thanks for helping a noob.

Dont go with no superchips nor diabloport. Go with a actual custom tune from a reputable shop. You can get a good mail order tune from Frost Tune You wnt need a Dyno since you just have bolts on mos. Once you get a cam, ported intake etc etc you can go for the dyno.

That's kind of the line I was thinking. Most people around here don't have very good things to say about our local shops so I was leaning towards a mail order tune. Does frost work with GTO's? I know they are basically the same thing but they don't even list them as an option.

I can't see why he wouldn't do GTO's
