You would want to go Tuner.. SCT Livewire is one of the best

It is just an awsome setup, easy to use, etc. The tunes are uploaded to it pretty easy once you understand the basics..

I don't know the best place, you can try Draco Performance though. They are very nice and helpful. Just email them about it

I would say the best tuner right now would be Justin from VMP tuning.com. He has the SCT's, and can custom tune your car. uners are much more versatile than a chip. Tell him the Shine's sent you.....

Ah but with a multiple position switch, you can switch tunes on the fly - which is nice . . ..

What is this multiple position switch you speak of? Same thing as a sct?? That would mean you could change tunes while driving to best go along with how your driving? Like better MPG would be a certain tune and for fastest acceleration another tune, correct???

yeah, SCT makes a 5 position switch, you can load it with whatever you want.

MPG, regular, Premium, Race, N2O, etc.,

just flip the switch to whatever you want, and go.
