    There are quite a few out there, take your pick! Prices do vary, but they can provide you with a wide range of custom tunes for various vehicles. Most require PCM swaps, but some offer a handheld solution, such as Wait4Me. If you want any more info, do a search, or visit their website. I do suggest calling them rather than e-mail though.

    If you would rather tune it yourself, check out these 2. Just keep in mind that there is a LOT to learn if you're interested.

    +1 Alot of good info here. Just give Nelson Performance a call they can give you the details. I would go with the E-Fans and an underdrive crank pully then do the tune because they will need to set the pcm to control the fans.
