If you can swing it, make the drive to chandler and work with NicD. I know it's about an hour and a half, but you'll get a really good dyno tune, and he's very fun to talk with

I have heard a lot of good things about NicD. Just not sure if it will be safe to drive there untuned after new cam/intake etc.

I called PSI, but they wanted $800 to do the dyno tune. Seemed a bit high..
I ended up finding Evan Smith @ ESTuned. I am extremely happy with the tune I got and it was far less than the other guy. Evan was great to work with and very informative. He even managed to get me an additional 20 hp on top of my mail order tune. Car even feels smooth like it did stock.

@98z 372/367

@eagle I decided to go with the dyno tune instead. Thanks for your offer.
