If its running like crap you will want to fix that issue before getting a tune. Your best bet would be a hand held tuner but then have a custom tune done for your car. Expect 8-15 HP.

Agreed! Everything should be in good working order before doing any tuning. Otherwise you may end up tuning around a bad sensor.

a tune will make things right. real power, the kind that puts that smile on your
face requires more mods than you have. Cams/heads or a supercharger will
do this for you. If you go this route change the parts then get a professional tune.
If you are done with mods do the tune now. My car runs like stock (when your not in the boost) no surge, hesitation and good power for a non-PI car. When your in the boost it all
If you want to come to N.J. I will req. a shop for you.
