Talking drove it for the first time

well tonight i finally drove my car down the road for the first time in about 6 months. if u dont know the story i got a cam installed which i got screwed over on and the guy messed up more than he fixed. i had to get the tranny rebuilt about 2 weeks after the cam swap cause the guy messed it up and when the transmission shop delivered the car to my work i was backing it off the trailer and spun a bearing. i rebuilt the entire motor myself from top to bottom so i know everything is right. had to have the crank turned and re-ringed the pistons just a normal rebuild.

the car runs pretty good except for i cant hear anything except the exhaust because its open header right now. i need some opinions on a mail order tune. who does the best work at the best prices. here is a list of my mods

Comp Cam 224/230 .503/.510
Comp Lifters
Comp 918 Beehive Springs
Comp Locks
Comp Retainers
Comp Pro Maginum 1.6 Rockers
Comp 7/16 Rocker Arm Studs
Comp 7.200 Maginum Pushrods
Lunati Timing Set
GMPP Guide Plates
Hooker Super Comp Long Tube Headers
Summit Universal 3'' X Pipe
Flow Master Delta Flow Mufflers
Hypertech 160* Thermostat
K&N FIPK2 Cold Air Kit
March Underdrive & Alternator Pullies

i figure a simple mail order tune should take care of the little things such as my EGR and stuff i deleted. i was just excited about driving it hopefully i can get some pics and videos up this week.

MadZ28 and PCMforless are both reputitable people to get a tune from- should be a decent ride once you get it all buttoned up.
