    Custom tuning options

    I have to get my car tuned & have been leaning towards the Diablo chip. It's $250.00 for the chip & $50.00 for 3 dyno pulls.This is from a local guy I've used for years.Any feed back on these chips??My other alternative is another place that told me $5-700.00 for dyno/chip.:shock:

    Well,the car is up & running with new MAF.Runs & drives fine but still has hard start hot problem.No codes except 85 which I don't care about.When I get some $$$ I'll get it dyno-tuned & chip burnt.What a @*&^%$#@ nightmare.
