Why not reprogram your PCM? There are vendors on this board who are in the neighborhood of that price and will custom a program to your car versus a generic performance chip.

Dyno is the best method if that is available. There is a place by my house that will dyno-tune the car at $200 / hr. They usually have wide-band O2s that really dial it in well. The best method.

That chip will make a good paper weight. Check with some of the vender on the site. They will get you straight.

Check out www.pcmforless.com & www.madtuner.com

A tune may not be of much benefit if you've done nothing more than CAI & Throttle body, but it might. I want to get a tune for my car also. I guess the stock tune causes these cars to run kind of rich. I've read that leaning out the A/F ratio helps a lot at higher rpms. Isn't the 180 degree thermostat stock, or are 93's different?

Tested these on a dyno at Roger Vinci's in Orlando 11 years ago, one for a 96 6 speed Z and another on a 94 Impala SS. To say they are junk is an insult to junk everywhere.
