I'm going to assume you have no experience tuning, so it's best at this point to leave it to the pros.

Get yourself Tunercat and Datamaster if it is your intent to do your own tuning. Even if you are payig a professional tuner to help it is nice to make subtle tweaks to suit your driving habits and Datamaster anyone with a modified car should have something like it.

Once you have this stuff you can just email programming back and forth with a professional instead of shipping the pcm.

for the trans i have a pro helping me and i am doing the engine tune myself or taking it to someone to dyno tune it. im not ever getting a mail order tune

I thinks to propely provide help for u, u have to be more specefic on your mods because u writing cam(what cam), headers (short or long), gear (what ratio). We cant really help u that way. I just left mine to someone with kinda more knowledge and give to him my specefic mods. When i get my LT and new exhaust setup i going for a new tune

Im leaning towards the cc306, 2500 stall, 3.73 gears, 52mm tb, possibly thinkin about lt4 heads, 1.6 rockers, monster trans, im pretty sure i need injectors

lol Ramair ran a PCMsforless tune for a couple years and then had it dyno tuned and I think he said he picked up 10hp or so. I had one bad mail order tune but the one from Ion at http://www.madtuner.com/ is great and spot on. Bought a ALDL cable from moates.net and paid 75 bucks for my Email tune through ION and my setup is custom. Now I can use the ALDL cable to data log the car and check for problems and with the free tuning software out there I can make adjustments to what ever I need to in the PCM or just pay Ion 25 bucks and have him do it. It's Emailed to me and I load it so the PCM never has to leave the car.

This sentence immediately tells me that you do not have a complete understanding of the LT1 engine to warrant being able to effectively tune your car yourself without any prior experience.

Mail-order tunes work great. Like jaycenk said, I had a PCMforless.com mail order tune for over a year and a half before I had it dyno-tuned and picked up 10HP. It was just about spot-on. Hundreds even thousands of LT1 owners run mail-order tunes because let's face it, if tuning yourself was as easy as you seem to think it is, everyone would be doing it wouldn't they? At least START with a known working mail-order tune before you go blowing it up yourself.

I openly admit I lack the ability to tune my car myself, so I had a professional do it for me. Seems to be working out well so far.

When mine was tuned too it was done without the car, I just went there with my pcm. But like 95ram said better leave it to someone with more knowledge, I dont think u wanna destroy u engine trying to tune it.

And those mods looks like u are just naming some parts. just to start search more. And i see u still did not even one of those "mods" so u have a long way to go. take u'r time do it right.

I kinda get what ur sayin. But this is all getting done at once. so far ive kept the car stock to keep the value (it has 14k miles) but after i got some info i decided **** it, im not gonna sell it so lets have some fun haha. Ill start a thread with exactly what im gonna do once i get my cam tomorrow.

Thats most likely what ill have done when i get the motor in the car is get s emailed tune file and upload it myself. I just bought a tunning laptop with cats and datamaster but i dont trust using without having a lesson working it and knowing how to use it before i start tunning myself.

Did comp cams tell you a 2500 stall would be enough for that cam. That list looks like you are just throwing random parts at it and hoping to make something.
