Default need some tuning advice please

I am getting ready to start my new motor up today. I have changed a bunch of stuff on the motor since last year.

What my question is: What are the main things that I should look at and what are the ranges that they should be within?

Thanks guys.

Roman

New bigger cam, new bigger throttle body, new bigger intake..........

I am just looking for what are the main points that I should look at to make sure the car is running good. Like what the sterms, lterms, etc etc should look like.

Thanks,
Roman

Let me try:
-You want your Ltrims to be zero or close to zero but +/-5 ain't bad, but +/-25% can mean that you have pegged out the correction
-IAC count below 40, 30 would be great
-Idle at 900-1000
-14:1 AF at idle
-Uneven Ltrims can indicate unevenly sealed intake manifold beware
-Put in a reasonable rev limiter

Thanks John

I am trying to get a few small issues taken care of, and then to try and the tune improved.
