whats in a tune?
ok, so I've done reading and reading and searches but I still feel the need to start a new thread. I'm sure someone can help, and this might help others as well.
so It's time for my car to get a tune, my mods:
corsa exhaust
lid
kooks headers
ls6 intake
ORY
!air
!egr
underdrive pulley
I'm going to check out a local tuner this weekend, I want to ask him questions to see how much knowledge he has with ls1's.
I know that every car and tune is different but what is the general consensus of where things should be given my mods?
I'm sure the A/F ratio should be 12.8-13.1 correct?
also it should be smooth all the way across
what about timing? should it be bumped up? to where?
and what other things do you change when you get a tune, generally where should they be set? thanks in advance for what may seem like dumb questions.

It really depends on the tuner & the car, you'll be hardpressed to find two tuners that tune exactly alike. I've seen some pro tuners set timing to 22-24* for an application like your's while others will stretch it to 29-30* and both tuners are very well known & with tons of experience, same with afr, I've seen some tuners that swear by 13.5:1 afr while others will keep it on the rich side ie 12.5:1 knowing on the street or at the track in the middle of the summer that 12.5:1 might quickly turn into 13.0:1.
So to answer your question Im not sure if you'll find a true answer to your question, or you might find more than 1 true answer
