Finding a tuner for this car is like playing the lottery. I dont understand how this car can be that rare for tuning. Just blows my mind

Yup. I'll likely just end up making the trek up to Tune Time in Jersey........$400 for a dyno tune, and free re-tunes for life.

If he's anything like me, he just wants everything dialed in to be running optimally. I have multiple codes thrown from various things, such as having no cat..........my IDC rates are maxed out right now so im gonna put the SS/SC injectors in...........i'd like my AFR adjusted a bit.......raise the redline just a smidge....maybe turn off the top speed limiter....just various things.

Any competent performance shop that uses HPTuners or EFIlive can tune your car... it's just a matter of if you want to pay or not...

Buy the stage kit, have GM install it and they will flash your PCM for you...
