For us who don't know about Tune... Why is it so important to get a tune after MODS... Also, if once my car is done with the mods in sig. And get it tuned, do i need to re-tune if i get a stall 3600 installed? What about tune after a cut out?
Just trying to get the best results overall... Keep it simple please, im just an amateur...
Thanks!

Yes more than likely you will at least have to get your shift points adjusted after the stall. Mine shifted waaay early at WOT after my stall went in.. My advice is to do as much as you can at once then tune... Retunes are usually cheap as you add other mods.
With your setup in sig a tune would be well worth it but you could drive it without damaging anything w/o a tune just don't beat on it..... you are on the edge and anymore cam would require a tune to be safe IMO...

Get your 3600 in your car, throw your nitrous on there (not spraying it yet) , take it to a GOOD dyno tuner. They will tune your nitrous and stall in for you. I would suggest throwing ngk tr6 plugs on there , maybe some better wires. Better be checking on a new rear end though. T/a has a really weak rear end. With that kind of hp it wont last. Good luck. Sounds like you have a nice car on your hands.

Thanks for the info on the rear end. No one had mentioned it was a weak one, and i would of never guessed that.
About the DYNOTUNE... It will be done by some good Rep shop in the San Antonio Tx area. Lethal Performance, They specialize in Fbody's. Im fully confident they got the skills and equipment to make the most out of my build.
Good Input!!!...

Maybe ask around to people that have gotten tuned there. Get there input. I havent personally put a rear end in my t/a yet either but from what everybody i have talked to all go for the ford 9 inch rear end. And just keep in mind for the future a good suspension always helps.

Also if your not trying to spend alot more money i would leave the nitrous off until you have a few benjamins in your pocket to throw on upgrades. ex: rear end (can get pretty pricey)

I dont have a ton of cash laying around, But!... Right now is the season i can spend a lil more than usual, as long as we stay hot in texas, i can do it. Only one check out the month is completely free for me to do so as i please. Varies from 2 to 2.5 thous... If a rear end, or upgrade is more than that, i do need to hold back some.
I ask lots of questions, so i can learn and make the most out of my resources... Therefore, what do you recommend within a 2500 budget for a good solid rear end that will take the Mods made to my ride n not break?

As far as asking, i have done so... Everyone at the San Antonio dragway Knows and backs up Lethal Performance with tuning and Mods to all Trans am's... It's there specialty and showned great results at the track and over all performance.

Hey bro, All input is welcome, experienced or newbie... Im not the type to bash or ignore anyones knowledge. Majority of my built is credited to Lemons12.
That guy has taken the time to explain lots of things that were completely new to me.
I do my research on all said here, and use my best judgement.
All i ask in these questions, is to help me understand what a tune does, and when is a re-tune is necessary. Exmpl... B4 and after stall, Nitrous, or if its even necessary if cut out is thrown in.
So Please respond to the above, since i really havent gotten a str8 up answer...
Thx.
