I definitely second that. You must find a tuner who specializes on your vehicle. Once you find one, give him very specific details of what you want done or else you will end up with a generic tune which is probably better than no tune but not your money's worth (I am a lead foot). IMO a programmer is worth much more if you have an automatic transmission.

On a side note, I am not sure how much a programmer for your vehicle costs but for mine it was $400 US for a programmer. I went ahead and bought the package deal which includes the programmer and computer program to write new tunes myself which costs $750 US. With just a programmer I might have recovered the cost in fuel savings but with the package deal I will never recover that much in fuel savings.
