Just want to give some friendly advice here. I would check out a local tuner for several reasons. Changing fueling, spark, timing etc and not being able to see exactly how it effects your specific engine is leaving too much room for problems to arise and costing you more in the end. Simply telling someone what mods etc you have is not sufficient. There are so many things that go into tuning and variables that effect it it is just not safe to do this.

I am not degrading this company or anything and obviously there is a market for this. I know there are plenty of people out there who have been fine doing this thus the market for it. I personally would not go this route if I were you.

As someone once told me they are blindly trying to tune your engine.

I completely agree with this statement when it comes to tuning gas vehicles. I have economy/performance tunes for most GM gas trucks that will get you a few more MPG and some extra power. I have to be very conservative on certain things when sending a tune to someone blindly. Even on 2 identical bone stock trucks a tune that works flawlessly on one can end up with timing rattle and other problems on the other. Being forced to tune conservatively can leave a lot on the table as far as power goes. When people want to really get the most out of a tune I turn them away and tell them to find a local tuner that can spend an hour or two dyno tuning their vehicle.

Just make sure you hit a dyno after the tune to have the AF checked.

x4 on the Tune. I would Highly recommend you going to a local tune shop for your bolt. National Speed, or Majestic or something.
