The best thing you can do is follow the "idle surge" topic at the top in the stickies section. You'll want to get your car as close to driveable as YOU possibly can before taking it to a compotent tuner for a legit chip and tune. Strapping it to a dyno and having a chip burnt is the best possible way to get the most power and driveability out of your combo....

make sure yo tell the tuner that is important to you that it has good drivabilty. I got my car dyno in dallas texas by this guy that owed me a favor and he's a well known tuner and told him I wanted as much power as possible. he did and did a good job but it had drivabilty issues. SO I had to get mike murillo to striaghten it out for me. SOme guys will only set you up with power numbers and make sure the care runs. There are things you have to do to make sure it is streetable too.

Steeda said their cam will pass emissions but it doesn't have a CARB EO number so that could cause a problem. After my head/cam swap my car felt pretty slow too for a while, but the longer i drove it around the better it got. Your best bet is to get custom tuned chip man, you'll notice an enormous difference.
