Can't help you on the self tuning stuff but this guy probably can. I use him for my '96 and I'm very pleased with him. He has a Tips section on his website that may help you out also.

Minimum you need will be a cable to datalog, a Burn 2, chips and a zif adapter (G2, I think). All this will run about $200. I also have a ribbon cable and a board to mount the chip on the dash because I got tired of the ECM hanging down on the floor.
