First experience with Dyno/tuning. Questions. I will be taking the car in shortly for her first Dyno/tuning session. I have made up a list of items I want the tuner to address based on my mods and the info I have gathered by reading posts from LS1Tech members. I must however admit that I have not spent too much time in this section in particular. So please forgive me if I am brining up a topic that has been beat to death. I`m looking for some tips on what, if anything, I should have taken care of while I`m getting tuned.
Here are my mods: -Lid & filter
-Ported TB
-Hooker LT`s & ORY
-Cut-out
-Removed A/C
-Removed A.I.R. equip.
-NGK TR-55`s
-Yank TP4400
Tune list(So far):
-Adjust lean/rich condition (if any) caused by headers.
-Raise rev. limit.
-Raise part throttle shift points (To make converter a little more street friendly.)
-Delete rear o2`s for ORY.
-Lower cooling fan temps.
-Clear any codes caused by removal of A/C, A.I.R. equip.
-Delete torque management.
Am I forgeting anything? Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: First experience with Dyno/tuning. Questions. Where are you taking your car for tuning?
I'm interested in knowing a good place because I recently moved near Monroe, Michigan.

Re: First experience with Dyno/tuning. Questions. Thanks John B. for the input. Doc99SS, I`m most likely going to use Automotive Performance Engineering (APE). I`ve heard good things about them and that there prices are reasonable. They are in Clinton Township. #801-795-0549. Anything else I`ve forgoten for my tune?

Re: First experience with Dyno/tuning. Questions. Why are you going to raise the rev limiter? If you have a stock cam, there is no gain in reving the motor higher. Also, as i'm sure you know, the valves will float above the 6200 rev limit with stock springs.

Re: First experience with Dyno/tuning. Questions. Good point about the valve float Brad. I wasn`t intending to raise the limiter crazy high or anything, but if memory servers me, I thought I heard of a few guys with high stall converters hittting the limiter on occasion but I could be mistaken. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

Re: First experience with Dyno/tuning. Questions. APE knows what they're doing. Listen to them, and take their advise. In addition to what you listed, they will also try to add more timing for you if possible. I was very happy with what they did with mine! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
