Dear god no.....

Look up the member FROST
It sounds you don't need anything fancy, just a tune, and his only cost 150 if I'm not mistaken. Other smaller shops and DIY'ers charge up to 350 and big name shops are 4-500. You pay for what you get pal.

Todd of Blue Thunder 2 Racing is a really good tuner! He does street tunes for $350 and is in Longview which is East of Dallas. I had him tune my car and it made a big difference. Alot of guys around use him and suggested him to me.

If you know how to tune then I have Hp tuners pro. I'd just charge you for the credits (100$) I've got a book from the tuning school and play with my car but I'm FAR from a tuner and do not trust myself tuning another car.
