Default Tuning out DoD/AFM...
I do NOT plan on a cam change. I WILL NOT tear into this motor. I MUST keep telling myself that or i will. lol.

If i don't plan to swap cams or anything...is there even a point in having a tuner touch DoD/AFM when it comes time to place the car on the dyno?

Well, are you just going to dyno it or is going to be tuned as well? If its getting tuned, might as well turn off the DOD. My highway mileage went up when turned mine off.

When I had mine I turned it off. It helps with the oil consumption and from burning your plugs up prematurely.
