Default Tuning after LT's and LS6 Intake?

I just installed a set of Pacesetter LT's, TSP ORY and an LS6 Intake. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on tuning and what I could do to make the tuning process easier? Thanks!

pretty much just the VE table will change a little. You don't HAVE to tune it, but I would. Your timing and PE fueling requirements might change a tad too but it's nothing you'll be able to tune without a dyno or maybe the track.

Start with the simple stuff, learn to use the scanner as this is really key to making tuning simpler, using things like histograms, filters, etc can make or break your tuning experience. Some people can jump right in, when I was first going into tuning I studied for a month before I flashed my first tune in.

Thanks! I have been helping my buddy tune his Twin Turbo car and have learned a bit about the scanner and the histograms, but i still have alot to learn. Thanks again!

I like how he gets a thanks, when he states the obvious but I spell it out for you and get nothing.

The key thing is to get your fueling to match the enhanced airflow brought about by your mods. If you are retaining your MAF, the easiest way is the CALC VE method using EFILive. I don't what equivalent method exists for HPTuners. You need a wideband for any kind of fueling tuning.

I will be using HP tuners. I am buying the program tomorrow from a local dealer. My buddy has a wideband that I should be able to use.
