You can get a reprogrammed PROM, but it usually takes a few updates to get it optimal - it is not 1/100th as easy or comprehensive as late model OBDII cars to do.
i have a MAF car so that is a plus. i am lost with computers but have a good friend who burns chips and makes tunes and is pretty good at it (made a tune for his boosted MAP 305 TPI). im not really worried about the tune.
