Default New to Dynotuning, whats involved

After I install my headers I am going to get my car dyno tuned, can any place w/ a dyno tune it? Or do they need something like LS1 edit to do it? I am really new to this, so what is actually involved in leaning out my rich condition?

You need a professional to do it. Sure alot of people can do it. Its kinda like going to a Dr. But imagine that you could buy an MD diploma and then you didnt know all that much about being a dr but hey you are so lets get some patients!!! woo hoo!! Your car is the patient. You want the best Dr to take care of your patient not just someone with software. got me.

you need 4 things to properely tune well,
a dyno, thats the easy part.
an editor to make changes
a datalogger to know what the car needs changed. (with AF data)
a knowledgeable tuner to tune your car, who knows what changes are necessary, based on the data and dyno generated data
