i wouldn't recommend trying without prior experience with such things. i'm setting up a service (open sourced, of course) that will allow you to download a map that best fits your vehicles current modifications (presuming people upload theirs). it'll also do a bunch of other cool source-control inspired stuff for the guys who like to share and modify roms.
typically you'd take these 'base' maps and tweak them to suit your vehicle. if you're not comfortable doing that you can pay someone else to. in any case the end result is a tune that is probably a bit cheaper than what's out there now, but more importantly,
you own it. in 5 years when something changes, you can make the required changes yourself (or pay
anyone you choose to do so). no more being forced to return to the tuner you may or may not even like or be able to get ahold of.
