i went through a little bit of this with Doug @ bama... it ultimately came down to me having put a bigger GT500 TB on, and it was faulty.. kept sending me to limp-mode.. (which i REALLY hate).. i ended up taking it off, then put in the race tune with 93 oct. and everything worked out.. i know there were some ECU issues with the 2008 models.. but now i'm s/c and dyno tuned with Brenspeed.. no problems..
my personal opinon is that it can never be properly tuned without doing it on the dyno..
good luck man..

I was quoted $200 (which Brent wrote me 2 tunes) a 93 race and a 92 mild (which i don't ever plan on using, but just in case). and i got 3 dyno pulls out of it.. but it was discount december and i got it for $100.. yay for discounts! 
I had a semi-local guy back when i just had CAI run dynos and he adjusted and played with my fuel mix/ratios.. and he charged me $50 a pull.. we did about 6 of them.. but he was no tune writer.. just played with my tuner..
which brings me to having my own SCT X3 tuner.. don't know what the costs would be without that..

I have a Brenspeed dyno tune and they costs ( well, they did back in May of 2010 when I had it done ) $235 for the dyno time and $75 for the email tune that they build off it from.
But honestly unless you are running forced induction or massive cams, a solid email tune should do you just fine. What all mods do you have?
