Gonna be tough to find somebody over there but you really need somebody with HP Tuners or EFI live software etc... to do it right.....

It can be tuned without a dyno but needs to be by somebody who knows what they are doing with such major upgrades you are making...

If you're using HPtuners, you need to visit their forum and read the stickies. If you're using EFI live, do the same thing. Most of the basic things you need to know are in the stickies and already answered for you.

Before attempting ANY tuning at all, you need to read read read. Then when you're done reading, read some more and buy a wideband. You cannot tune wide open throttle correctly without a wideband sensor.

Good luck.
