your best bet would be to take a trip over to Tune Time Performance in Toms River, NJ. they are awesome at doing dyno tuning & part installs. hit them up and ask for Matt, great guy and knows his stuff.

AEM is not the cheapest by any means. Matter of fact, AEM is one of the best widebands you can buy so it will be costly. They sell cheap widebands but honestly I would not go with anything other then AEM

As for tunning, there is a guy here in PA who I would trust. He has HP tuners and I think he charges around 125 or so. Normally takes 2-3 hours but with meth it more like 3 hours. I think his screen name is Brianthelion or something. Trust worthy member of css.net. He tuned Roagrage06's car, and he was very happy with the results.

I'm pretty sure HP tuners has a wideband built into it. So if you get tuned by HPtuners you won't need one. I'm pretty sure on that. BTW, I really like your set up. Your not like some of these dumbasses maxing out stage II injectors with 2.9 or smaller pullies. Hptuner showed my friends car IDC @ 109% with a 2.9 pulley on 42 lbs injectors. With your meth kit, you could make some good numbers going with 60s and like a 2.8 or so.

I support BriantheLion as a tuner! And as for the AEM, I know it's not cheap, but you can score one on ebay for around 220

Not quite.....

HPTuners can hook up to a wideband if the person has HPT-Pro. You'll still need a wideband. But if you go to a dyno they can use their exhaust sniffer to get an O2 reading

With meth, I have tuned a 2.8 on 42's to 260hp with an 11.5 afr on 22* timing with IDC's at 88%. On a GM Stage2 tune tho, you are correct on the IDC's being maxxed

Good shop right there.
I've done a few cobalts over there so far (250 in total just not there) I use him for my dyno tuning of my own personal cobalt

:facepalm:

yes you do need a wideband, if you get tuned by someone who doesn't have a dyno. but.... if you were to go to a shop where they have a dyno and HPTuners then you can get a dyno tune where they use a wideband "sniffer" which clamps onto your exhaust tip.
