with that set up youll need a custom tune. its always a good idea to invest in a predator or any other type of programmer.

You'll want to find a dyno shop that can do a dyno tune for you. This is the safest way to go. You can get a chip, but mail order chips really aren't that good.
I see you are in San Diego, check out JBA, they can do it for you. It will cost some $$$ (like $500) but it will help ensure your car will stay safe.

Don't buy anything. Talk to the shop and they will sell you the one you need. For a S/C a tuner won't cut it, not even close.

if the shop is a predator dealer they can use that with the dyno and get the custom tune you need. The predator has all the adjustable features you need to tune it correctly or atleast that is what they use at delk performance if you have the pred, would save me about 175 dollars on the tune

I'm not sure how JBA does it, I haven't really looked into it. You other option is the Dyno shop (I'm pretty sure they offer SCT) or you can check out someone in the LA area.
I totally agree that JBA is overpriced, but its worth it if it saves your engine.
