i'm trying to decide what I want to do with my car...a 99 SS. I have a problem to fix first, cuz it was running really lean on the dyno last weekend, but i'm talking after that. i'm planning on installing a LS6 intake. already have the slp lid, gutted cats, and a flowmaster(which some don't like and I might go to stock with cutout anyway)...and maybe some day way down the road i might want to add a small stall. after installing the intake i'm obviously gonna want some tuning so trying to decide what to do with that. initialy I planned on having the shop I trust change the intake and mail order a tune from pcmforless.com. my other option is my nephew works for a NEW performance shop that said they can tune it, but no dyno jsut programming. or I guess I could jsut take it to FLP/Speed, etc.

I would like to do it as cheaply as possible as I only have so much money and would like to get a little body work done also. plus I don't really care if i'm down 5hp from a mail order vs a dyno tune as it is not a drag car it is our weekend cruiser/sunday driver/showcar/etc......but I do want it to run properly with no issues. anyone think the mail order would be plenty good for my use or is the dyno tune really worth the extra $300 with the minimal mods I have?

as far as the other shop tuning it i'm hesitant because they are a new shop and pcmforless has been around for a while, but they both cost about the same.
