Yes..A/F ratio..timing..etc. Don't do it if you plan on getting a Cam in the future if the tuning place doesn't do lifetime tunes.

What gloveperson said. You can also drive the car for a while and pull out 1 or 2 Plugs. One from each side and that will be a good indicatior of how the motor is runing. Lean or rich.
