Unfortunately I don't know any in the area. That's actually why I'm going to be getting myself HPTuners and starting to teach myself haha.

Might have to deal with a canned tune for now? Or look around for dyno/speed shops in the area and HOPE they have knowledge with the 3800

Just buy a topswap PCM from a vendor, then bring it to a dyno.

Tuning is NOT easy, if you want to get into it I would definitely recommend the PRO version. You can run the scans of your car without a computer.

are tunes bad for your car? i heard that doing a tune may abuse the car and make it ride/drive like it has more miles than it does? i also heard that Companys dile the performance back ect to make the car last longer? idk if any of this is true.. i was just wondering cause i want to do one down the road
