Default PCM question

I am building an LS6 block and putting it in my 98 A4 Trans Am. I was wondering what kind of tuning would be necessary and who to send my pcm/ecu out to.

Well, then we're just going to treat it like a regular ole H/C setup... VE tuning, MAF tuning, WOT tuning, idle speed raise, DTCs... the whole works will be needed..

It won't run terribly crappy from the get go, but find a local tuner to take care of this stuff.

You should start with your stocker tune and have someone knowledgable be around when you have the setup all together IMO. It will run (maybe crappy) on the stock tune, but even if you had to get it to a local tuner, you could make it.
