Get that car tuned and "loved" by a good mechanic. You will get that permagrin back, no worries!

JFYI the 90 prom is NLA from gm. so i guess if yours goes bad you must get one from one of the tuners

It is very unusual for a calibration (information on the chip) to go bad. Your stock chip can be erased and reprogramed by any of the tuners.

Talking to others that have/are doing custom tuning as a hobby.
It is not for the faint of heart.

Having someone fly out this fall to teach me how to do some tuning. You can only learn so much by phone and get so "close" by mail order, but I am definitely intrigued. I smell a new obsession on the horizon
