I have an HP-tuner and got the good one the extra $150 was worth not needing a laptop in the car to scan. I might be selling it after I review the tune on my wifes car but only since I got rid of my bonneville.

I just downloaded a stock tune of your car and here are some things that you can change.
Idle (stock is 800 warm and 1000 max cold)
Cam angle for intake and exhaust based on rpm and load
DFCO Cutoffs
Enrichment point
Cat heating (also adjusting cam for cat heating)
Spark based on load rpm and cam angle
Fan speed based on coolant temp.

I wish that I lived closer to you so I could help tune it as I think that it would be fun since i have not got to tune on a car that you can controll the cam with. The great thing is there is a lot of room for improvement in the stock tune and you can enable EGR in low load by adjusting the cam timing.
