Which tuner to buy?

I have an immediate use for a tuner to turn off the AFM. I'm also pretty sure that I'll be adding the Edelbrock E-Force SC sometime in the future. The Edelbrock complete kit comes with or without a tuner(~$300 difference).

Does anyone know if I can use any tuner with for the E-force? I'm assuming it doesn't matter. I've had good luck with a Diablo Predator with my last car.

Any recommendations for tuners for the Camaro?

Do you have a laptop? Who is tuning it? What do they use?

I would suggest HP tuners but you need a laptop.

I'm not going to "tune" the car, I leave that to the pro's. I just want to be able to shut on/off certain things e.g. the AFM and be able to read codes when the CEL comes on, which is inevitable based on my limited experience.

Still do HP tuners, and whatever you buy needs to be compatiable/etc with what your tuner uses. So find out what they are going to use.

I have to recommend the SCT X4 Tuner.
