Initial startup and dyno tune suggestions I got my install all finished up and it's heading to get dyno tuned on Tuesday. This is a BS3, 408, 4L80E car with S91 turbo. I did all the BS3 base stuff and the car will start, go forward, go backwards and has no leaks. I'm running an alky control meth kit and Innovative MSBC boost controller. Is there anything else I should do before I take it to the shop. I'd like to get as much out of the way now and make sure it's ready when I get there.
Im sure you already know this but make sure nothing leaks, vibrates, melts. If you can, drive it down a back road and make sure thats good. All fluids are topped off. Do any retorqueing of bolts and you have it at operating temp a few times. Good Luck!

Exactly, make sure its a running car with no leaks and rattles. Make sure the pcv is correct and all intercooler clamps are 100% tight. Remember, anything the dyno operator has to do, you most likely will be charged for it. Also, remember to bring the nessesities to the dyno, spare qt of oil, extra antifreeze, race fuel if needed, and more spark plugs.
Even though its a stout setup, trailer it up to the dyno.

max effort pump gas street/strip car. It will be trailored both ways. I should be able to do a mile or so drive without much problems. If it breaks it'll be short walk to get the trailor lol.
