I have to do the same to my car, I think driven authority does it, but I am going to go to Z-garage in San Jose eventhough is farther away from Sac. I only heard positive things of Zgarage.

Did they explain what and why they needed to look over? Are you FI, I don't understand what they would need to look over for NA mods. I think OP is NA

Yeah I did my tune and everything at EIP in San jose. It will run you about $500 for the Cobb Access Port with Tune. Plus, where you go should give you at least three runs at different times to get the most out of your car. And if your only running what is in your sig, then you are most likely going to gain around 15-20 hp tops.

definitely at least email Rob at Z Car Garage. his shop is very busy (for good reason) and he can be tough to reach on the phone. he will get back to you via email though.

I have personally talked to Pat, Rusty and David about driven authority, they will tell you the Zgarage is the way to go. You won't regret taking long drive there.
