    I suggest adding details like what you mean by needing help tuning your car. Are you the tuner?

    This.

    OP start buy reading through some tuning how to books before even touching the cars tune. Figure out what system that Cavalier uses (Alpha-n, VE, maf) and learn that and learn the fuel injector setups. You're not going to just plug in hptuners and have files that will tune your car.

    You may be able to use the gm supercharger speed density flash and tweak from there. I'll have to look through my emails as I'm pretty sure I still have a copy of it.
