Just make sure he knows your running the 125 shot and a 160* stat. If he knows what he's doing, the rest should be cake for him as far as fueling, timing, speed limiters, !DTC's, etc.

Tell him all your mods the octane fuel your runing if the car has any previus tuning hypertech included. He should be good to go if he knows that.

it did ok on the dyno. the cats are so clogged that it is starting to make a mild exhast(i know I spelled that wrong) leak. Monday the new cats go on. car runs great after tunning but I went to give a frind a ride and the tranny wouldnt kick down and there was like no power. I parked it watched a movie and drove it home slow right before my house I nailed it and it ran fine WTF? cats=problem

"Do you tuner-lock the PCM?" - "yes" = leave now
"Do you fix up the VE table(s) for the cam at the
low and top ends?"
"What about part throttle shift points and converter
lockup?"
"Don't forget the fans"
"What's your do-over policy?"
