Sure, you're very welcomed! For hardware you have a few options. The first, if you're less comfortable tuning yourself (there's a learning curve involved), would be to get something like an SCT Chip with free "tunes for life" from someplace like American Muscle. They'd probably provide you with a 91-octane tune as well, and removing tip-in-retard is probably something they do as a matter of course. Whenever you add mods in the future they'll re-tune you for free. The only real limitation is they won't do extreme tunes (like Turbo or Supercharger) since that's best done on a dyno.
If you do want to DIY, Tweecer and Moates Quarterhorse are the most popular options. Moates was my choice because it's less expensive and better quality hardware. Along with the hardware you'll also want software - Tweecer comes with its own (CalEdit) and for Moates you have some options but my favorite (and many peoples' since it's really top notch) is Clint Garrity's Binary Editor. Along with Binary Editor you can get optional software (EEC Analyzer) that has a lot of built-in popular upgrades and tools to help with the tuning.
DIY is a lot of fun if you're in it for the long haul and want to learn something in the process. If you have less time or interest then the mail-order tunes are probably the next best thing. Finally of course is the dyno tune which is more thorough, more expensive, and probably best done if you're making some major mods.
