so i just need a new mail order tune you think?

Well, it's possible it could be the tune, but with the limited info you gave, there are a multitude of possibilities I could throw back at you. Is there a CEL? Is it more of a ticking noise? When the head gaskets were replaced, its possible the manifolds weren't securely tightened resulting in an exhaust leak. Is this new problem resulting in a loss of power? The more info you can provide, the better the chance of someone figuring out the problem :beer:
