If you buy hp tuners and want to stay N/A (no boost) you can absolutely do it yourself. If you end up buying it I can answer any questions you have about tuning NA. If you want boost I'd seriously consider letting one of the tuning gurus here help ya out with a remote tune.

You can tune it unlimited times with HP Tuners. I've flashed probably 50 times on my car changing little things. If you screw up the tune it'll just run like ****. You can change it to run boost also if you want, but it's more risky with boost because if you screw up it means you don't have a motor anymore.

1: You plug the cable into your OBDII port and read the tune on the car.
2: Then modify it.
3: Then flash it back to your car.
It's a software that rewrites the programming in your car's computer basically. All those "performance chips" are? A resistor. Cheap ****. HP Tuners tells your vehicle how to behave under any given operating circumstance. Like how I tell my car to WOT shift at 7krpm now instead of 6400.

You can buy it here for $500, or used on various forums for cheaper. If you are satisfied and want to sell it you can for a reasonable price too.

Whichever you want. The Pro's advantages are that you can hook a wideband O2 sensor and other sensors directly into the tuner cable so you can log more easily. Also supposedly you don't need to have the laptop in the car to log.
But I can read my O2 sensor with the standard version because I took the time to read up on it. Not very difficult. With standard you need to have the cable hooked up to a laptop while logging your car. For me that isn't an issue.
Take your time deciding. A lot of people here think you should just buy an SS if you want performance. It's a learning curve, but like I said if you decide to bite the bullet PM me when you get it and I can help with whatever questions you have.

I think an lt can be just as fast as an ss
The ss just has the jump start
