If you have the patience, you can buy the "Tuner Kit" and then get your own Uprev Liscense. There are plenty of shops that can tune your car via email. You'll just run data logs in Uprev, email them to a shop, then they can make necessary adjustments to a base tune they will provide you. Just pick a shop that has a lot of experience with the Stillen kit, and who answers the phone every time you call. Think of a reason to have about 5 conversations with the tuner before you ever buy anything, that will be enough time for you to figure out what kind of people they are. Remember, you will likely be at their mercy for a few weeks minimum.

You will have to do the same thing if you go the "full-bolt-on" N/A route. The car will not run right without a tune. I've seen dynos of cars running dangerously lean AFRs with bolt-ons and no tune.
