Default start up tune

Just about finished with my pt88 turbo 5.3 lsx swap in my 97 30th anniversary ss. Have a 99 z28 harness that I rewired myself to match my car and deleted all the BS but before I can start it up I'm going to need a start up tune of some kind. I am going to have the car dyno tuned immediately for speed density but retaining the o2's. I feel that before I can take my car to the dyno I need to break in the motor and cam with some start up idle time. Where would be a good place to get a really cheap just basic start up tune for my setup? You can pm me with details if you want. I really appreciate the help!!!

Best bet is to find someone local to do a good tune. Pay once and done right.

If you don't have hptuners already then you'll have to mail your pcm to them..

Or find a tuner near you and get a base tune from them and then when you dyno with them they knock a few bucks off because you started with them!
