Default need help with tuning

im adding alot of stuff to the 93 black beauty of mine and i need a tune, problem is i dont know where to start with the 1993 lx. they dont sell any tuners for this year (i dont believe) and i have a cai, 30lb inj., 70 mm throttle body, 3.73 gears, elderbrock performer rpm intake and heads, e cam, a bunch of other stuff. but i desperatley need a tune or someone who can tune it. i live in baton rouge, louisiana, and i have called and asked everyone and they dont know how to tune these cars. I just got all this in and before i put it on i want to make sure i know how to tune it or have someone tune it. i will have fuel pressure at 39 and 14 degree timing. but if i run rich how do i correct it do i just adj. fuel pressure? do i have to do anything to the ecu? i guess im just wondering about the computer problems more than anything. and if i put this stuff on and have problems with the ecu how do i fix it. any info will be helpful.
thanks again guys.

Is your MAF calibrated for your injectors?

well pending on what heads you got 30 lbs injectors are a little on the big side for your build 24's would suit yo better and for the larger injectors have a mass air calibrated for it and get a larger fuel pump a 155 lph will be fine or go 255 lph either or.....and I'd really rethink your cam choice.....maybe custom..it'd really help with drivability issues having a custom cam taylored to your combo...or get a dual pattern cam.....if you do all this the ecm will be capible of adapting to mods for the most part on it's own without a custom tune/chip burned for combo

+1... There's not much ECU flashing involved if that's what you're asking. As long as your MAF is calibrated and you have proper fuel mods done you'll be ok. If you're burning a little rich adjust the fuel pressure or advance the timing a little. That's about it really.
