Sure, ionicswing, you are!
Spend the $300 on the prom tuning equipment. You don't need to be a computer geek to program a prom. The hardware works on it's own... first you erase a chip in the eraser- they're UV (ultraviolet light), so you open the eraser, put the chip in, close the eraser, and leave the chip in for a couple minutes. Then you put the chip in the prom burner, and basically click "OK" on your computer to burn the chip.
If you use a software like TunerCat you see everything in front of you, in charts. Pick up a $75 laptop from Ebay and you're all set! You could burn chips from your house computer, but then you kinda lose out on the ability to tune the chip by driving. I suppose you could buy a $50 inverter (changes car cigarette lighter into 110 volt power outlet) and pile your computer into your car... but that's a pain in the butt. Plus, might as well spend the extra $25 for a laptop for the "cool" factor.

Camaro.....I'm not trying to **** you off, but if you MENTION free tunercat files one more time, you will be banned. I've already had the owner of Tunercat emailing me complaining about this, and the fact that they decided to support the V6 guys only to get taken advantage of is appalling.
