I would look at the new offerings from HP tuners and EFI-live. Both include scanning and tuning. Both support GM specific high speed protocols and both will support analog inputs like Wideband and boost.
They both have current products, but the next version of both products appears to be a huge leap forward. The big change on the scanning side is the inclusion of analog inputs, which you really need to do serious tuning.

Secondly, the tuners I have spoken with here on the forum have said , given their preferrence they would rather tune a car on a dyno than just using a stock tune they have had success with as each car is different.
Thirdly, if you spend enough time here you'll see lots of bad experiences form guys that tried to cut corners or felt they knew enough.
Forthly, It's not bad info I'm spreading. It 's a warning for others who may think you can slap a blower on and race down to the track.
Finally, It's just my opinion that's also shared by many others.
No hard feelings. It's your dollar.

If he did have it tuned on a Dyno buy the people we wanted he would have to ship his whole car over here for an hour or two of tuning. I m sure with that said its still cheaper to put in a new motor.
it's so hard to ship my car over there . i'm doing my best to tune my c5 i have ls1 edit,i'll get scaner tools . and go to dayno in kuwait . 4h way form my home .

I've seen folks pay $500+ for worthless tunes over and over, myself included. Bite the bullet, spend the time and learn what needs to be done. If you want to know it's done right, tune it yourself. I did and would NEVER do it any other way. The tools are readily available.

Somebody does... HP Tuners, http://www.hptuners.com . Their package will scan, edit, and program. The upcoming 1.5 release will even log data via a wideband O2 sensor. HP Tuners is leaving LS1 Edit behind, quickly. The licensing scheme is also much simpler. They have a great forum and are very responsive to user feedback and suggestions.

Sounds like the DIY tune went bad. The tune is the most important part of FI. This is sad.
