Id say find a tuner in your area, and a 99 has to have a chip soldered in

As above. Chekc out the GIAC main site and they have a list of tuners. Your car will have to have a new chip soldered in.

Every GIAC authorized dealer will have the same chips and have the same turnaround time. Your car isn't flashable, so they have to solder. Check with your local dealer.

Thasts the price for the solder, be glad its not a flash or itd be more like $500. Tuners arent alowed to jack up the price, so price shopping wont do any good.. Just find the closest tuner who is a giac dealer, or send your ecu out to whoever is closest.

Yeah just make sure to do it close by. You will have to get your ECU sent away so you may have to ride your bike over to their shop and pick it up.
