Default About to get Frosted

I am excided to change the shift points, firmness & all the other stuff that comes w/ a basic mail order tune. After looking @ Frost's tune sheet is there anything spescific for me to ask, do,or not do to get the best results the first time or is it just a standard programthat all the bolt on cars get? The car is stock aside from a slp air box & a lm2 cat back. No extra cash for headers or gears for a long time.

Also, I guess I will need the radio code which the p/o never gave me. He told me the radio was swapped @ a dealer under warrenty.

Steve will already have a pretty good idea of what you want. His tunes are based on years of experience with cars that have similar mods as yours. Keep in mind that nothing will ever be as good as a dyno tune, but you should be happy. Just fill out the form as listed, and let him have at it. As far as the radio codes go....hit up your local dealership.

Thank you bro, I wish I cold do some mods & a dyno but at this point in my life I am greatfull I can afford the car. You answered my question & I bet I will be quite pleased. I think I now remember with the code there are sights that will give it for 10 bucks.

I will not be able to do any big mods for a while due to obligations. Im happy to have the car. The car is always in od so even just raising the shift points should wake it up. Eventually iw will do 373s and headers. I guess i will need a touch up but that is ok.
