Race for as much money as you can get because you'll destroy that thing stock vs stock your car is lighter as well as having significantly more power.

tell him you want to do a 40 roll, start in second.

This will be him.

I'm going to recommend HP tuners first of all or check to see if you have a local tuner, I have one that's good local but in the end I still switched to HP tuners because it's an hour away to my tuner. You can be done in a day if you have a good person to work with.

Stock for stock you got it...quickest and easiest power bump for you would be gms1. ..but hptune would be beast

Your outcome:
Stock=cars
Gms1=buses
Hptune=freight train
Hptune e85=back to the future

Dealership is the only place you can get their tune and keep your warranty (if you have one), but if you go with a custom tune I'd try to get the 3bar sensors anyways.

CED sell the kits too...and I think they ate PnP. Would need to go to dealer to flash the tune. Price varies per dealer. Hptune is worth it but you would need hptuners to email or drive to tuner, or a local shop with it that knows how to tune lnf

Gms1 is tuned for the stock parts only.

If you are hptuned as you add mods it would be best/necessary to retune to accommodate that mod.
