pcmforless does the 3.8, or tunercat will work if you wish to try yourself.

Be careful with the 3.8L engine. It has a very complex tuning, just about as complex as a Z06 Corvette. PCM4Less has a pretty good load on the 3.8 it is a good choice. Just remember to get the load AFTER you get the mods done, and make sure you tell them EVERYTHING you did to the car. Darling Reject got her tune from them but had yet to install the new gears in her diff. She was having major problems just because of that one little thing.

Another method is to have your car tuned at a dyno shop. This will give you the best tune for your car but it will cost you a few $$$ more.

PCMforless is great, but it gets to be a pain when you start modifying constantly. You're constantly sending it back and fourth and paying $50 for every reflash ontop of shipping costs. Everything needs to be specified very clearly. I'm not sure just putting an exhaust on it is worth $75+ worth of tuning from PCM just yet.
