yes, and honestly my HCI SS is more fun to drive than my GTO. my GTO is more DD friendly however. now if i modded my GTO it might be a different story but that isnt going to happen.

500 for an NA bolt on tune? ****, thats what it costs for an FI or H/C tune where i go. usually shops offer inexpensive tuning to sell other services. you might want to check around.

$250 is about avg. here for bolt on tunes.
