I don't know why you want a tune... you have no mods.

I would go with Ion from MadTuner. He really knows his stuff, and his programming is done well.

A tune can get you HP, even if you have no mods.

A tune can get you minimal HP gains, or headers can get you decent gains.

Sorry, but I refuse to believe on a stock car you will get more than 3-4 hp.

You can get 3-4 hp from doing a TB Bypass or a UD pulley.

Most tuners will guarantee about 10 HP on a stock car. That's what they say, anyway.

Even before the cam and such, on obd1 cars stall wall needs to be tuned out. He is stalled.

10-15HP on a stock engine with a good tune.... no problem. You seem to be out of touch with the technology. And... its not going to be "stock" when he makes the changes he listed.

I guess me and mail order tunes do NOT get along at all. Sorry for my seemingly ignorant post. I have had a madz28 tune and now the PCMforless tune and neither have made me all that impressed.

With the cam a tune will be nice.

I have had issues with "mail order" tunes, so apparently I should be ignored when it comes to this topic.
