Default getting dyno tuned questions.

im taking my car to a local guy i know who has a performance shop. He has tuned many Vettes, GTO's an mustangs. He has never tuned a LS-4. He is going to be using HP tuners. He said he shouldnt have any problems with it as he has used the program hundreds of times. My question for everyone: is there anything special you guys know of that i should be giving him a heads up on? I know to turn off the DOD which im having him remove anyways.

i would not turn off dod it doesnt give you a performace boost becasue its disabled under wot anyway. You will just lose a lot of gas mileage. What mods do you have to your car. I would have him disable the traction control and torque managment software. Also increase the transmition line pressure. Increase the rev limiter as well.

I think it is time for me to pull the plug on DOD as well, that noise/vibration/shudder is unbearable.
