Default Getting a tune

I was going to do a supercharger on my 2.3 and heard i could do it on stock internals but need a good tune. Up in Maine they're aren't any places that tune cars that I know of so what would you recemond? thanks.

They don't make a supercharger for the 2.3L but if you were adamant about installing a power adder, you should go with a turbo. Even if you were able to fabricate everything you would need to install a supercharger, you'd destroy your engine internals in a rather quick fashion. A turbo wouldn't kill your engine as fast but it's still not a good idea on a stock 4cyl.

ya i was going to custom fab something to do the super but I wasn't quite sure so I figured if I had to beef the engine anyway just do a 2.3T swap and put the 2.5 crank in it like I was going to do. And vortech does make a supercharger for I4 motors.
