My car is going in for a tune on wednesday and it makes me a little nervous since it has 131k on it im worried something may go bad, is there anything i should do before it goes in? Will she be ok? It does have a rear main leak, but the shop is fixing that before they strap it up

Ive seen several high mileage ls1 make some sick power. as long as thy are well maintained you should not have anything to worry about. with it being a 98 though that was one of the years the oil pimps went out so just keep an eye on that oip press. and have fun

Ok guys, might be a stupid question, but hell I cant find anything on it. What exactly is a "tune" and what does it help your car in ?

Its an LS6 pump, it shoudl be good

A dyno tune (what we are talking about) is when a shop with a chassis dyno strap the car up and make many pulls adjusting timing, fuel, and other aspects to get the car to make its best power, it just helps you car make more power and depending on how you want it, improving drivability/fuel economy

OK i really hope this is not a stupid question, but is it posable to get my car tuned without putting her on the dyno? Can they edit things out and tune it for my headers and such with out the dyno?
thanks

Yeah you can, some places like HPE do mail order tuning. I guess the only downside about tuning w/out putting it on a dyno is you will have to tune conservative so your car doesnt run too lean.
