There is a guy in Morisset(Gossies Automotive) with a dyno not cheap was going to charge me $1000 to do my VS

Ended up getting The1 on here to do the tune and has been awesome not sure if he does tunes for the buick motors or not

Agreed with above. I have THE1 tune in my stato and I' am pretty happy with it. He can do tunes for the Buick and ecotec motors. In saying all that it really depends on what type of mods you have, it may need to be dyno tuned.

You can remove the injectors as they are doing nothing for it. Rest is pretty normal and some one like Mace would be able to do a tune.

just shoot him a PM.
he can do a rough estimate on a tune and see how it goes. then use the new tune with soemthing like Tunerpro, hooked up to your car. and send off the info to him, and he can finetune etc.

or you can always just get Tunerpro now, with the adx file.
but youll need the correct cable for it

the tunerpro you would need would be the RT version. (you dont need to pay for it)
TunerPro and TunerPro RT - Professional Automobile Tuning Software

most things The1 will be able to help you out with.
he'll be able to give you some better ideas aswell. especially on pricing and so forth.

thanks heeps Drawnnite i just sene him a pm then with every thing ive done and see how much he can do it for me for,its made a big difference just with the mods i have done on the weekend and i put all new gaskets etc in the top end of the manifold intake etc and the mace air box set up is great, nice smooth pick up now its not lagging as much have a flat spot there every now and then put i just ordered new IAC and TPS as its giving me fault 22, low voltage TPS, so hope fully they will fix that up and a tune and she will be good as gold then.
I just downloaded the TunerPro do you no were i can get the cable from for it
