Default basic pcm tune question

Sorry for such a newb question but I'm looking for an ecm for my ls2 and I'll need to get vats deleted for the swap. I wanted to know if there was anything else I should get done while I'm getting the work done. I'm going for a CA legal swap so I need to leave all the emissions stuff alone and the engine will be stock, but are there any other little things that need/should be tweaked?

Plenty a good tuner can do. Use one of the sponsors here for a mail order tune, and then get to a dyno when you get it running....a mail order tune will get you close though.......

Not really much that needs to change since you are keeping emissions......

Thanks, I'm not really worried about tuning for power right now. Mainly looking at little things like vats, cags, fan temp, etc. Ill contact a sponsor tuner and ask what they recommended
