With a flasher, would you be conceivably be able to do this yourself?

I, like Andrew, have pretty much most of the NA bolts-ons as well.  My next mods in order would be:
SVT Header conversion kit, with high flow cat and flex (keep it legal)
Cams and cam gears
Chip with hopefully a dyno tune.

you can get the flasher with 3 tunes on it... just like the chip. But with the flasher, it's easier to receive tunes via e-mail, save it to the flasher, and then flash the car.

The same is achievable with the chip, if you get the chip reflashing kit, but I'd say it would be easier to just flash the car instead of pulling the chip anytime you wanted to update it.

The only exception to this is if you run tunes for different things, like a street and a track tune, where turning a dial (for the chip) would be simpler than taking the 6 minutes to reflash at the track.
