Im looking to upgrade my goat and from what I read on the forums you need a tune for the smallest changes. I live pretty far from tuners in my area is there anyway to tune it myself or any other recommendations
I agree, looking back at all my tune files the only time I really needed to change the MAF calibration was when I installed the VARARAM and then subsequently the XAIR OTRCAI's. The XAIR actually resulted in much smoother MAF curves than the VARARAM. There is a little bit more power available if you tweak the timing from stock.
Doing a canned tune on a bolt-on car is pretty simple. Yeah you won't have it 100% optimised if you had it on a dyno and dialed it in, but you'll be a few horsies away from it.
Somebody can drive around with you, collect log data, and do all the standard stuff. Put in a huge block of 24's and 25's in the timing table, do the MAF cal error correction and VE table, and any other drivability and emissions junk you need.
I was actually pretty happy with the email tunes I got via my DiabloSport Predator and tunes from DiabLew Tunes until I outgrew what he could do for me and got a dyno tune done via HP Tuners. If all you are doing is exhaust and intake, take a look at Diablew Tunes. Even the canned tunes in the Predator were better than stock and are set up with the expectation you have perhaps headers and intake upgrades.
