If you want to do it right the first time and not waste any money, go with either LS1 Edit or HP Tuner.

Hypercrap makes cars very lean, I've seen this about 5-6 times now on the dyno with stock cars.

If your in Ohio, maybe I could help you out with tuning.

Being as you're in south Florida, you really should
go with the Predator (of the two) because there
is the DiabloSport "main man" right there in Delray
Beach, and you can get them to tweak up your
Predator & car on their dyno - bypassing the
"remote tune" deal entirely. In fact you would
probably be best off to go see them personally
and get them to be your dealer / tuner.

Before you do a chip i'd do all the free mods and some of the boltons ... these car's aren't like others out there where you "put a chip in" (reprogram the PCM) and drop a ton of time off your 1/4 mile ...

If you plan on doing gears, or different height tires right away then a programmer would be great for keeping the Speedo accurate...

But I'd hold off on the programmer until you have more mods ... just my opinion though
