Nice car. You will need to know exactly how to use it to get optimum performance. The only thing you can really do is correct your speed if needed, because of your gears. You will also be able to adjust your air/fuel ratio, spark and timing. That will need to be tweaked since you have an off road h-pipe. How much money?? I would just take it to a professional tuner, let him dyno tune it and it's good forever. That's what I do. I haven't been back to my tuner since I got my blower installed in 2004. Not one problem.

diablo

I bought a used unmarried diablosportpredator 2 for $175. I would say yes get it. Will help correct your spedometer (if you have not done already) from your gears. With the diablo, you can do the diablo tune, which does the basic tunes like throttle response and stuff. But you won't need the air/fuel stuff (i don't think) since you don't have a blower. Also, do you have MIL eliminators for your off-road pipe?

I have an automatic with only a few minor bolt-on.

and I can positively say - yes its worth it on a stock car. ERrrr..... at least the shift points and firmness makes it worth it for me

Yeah, like above said, auto cars benefit a lot more than 5 spds will. I remember getting a tine for my auto 95 GT. WOW!! Night and day difference.
