Default Bolt on tuning

Quick question here. I have a 01 Trans am and am planning to do some bolt on's which include, long tube headers, cat-back, cold air intake and possibly a ls6 intake manifold. My question is will I be able to get a decent tune using something like a Diablo predator hand-held tuner? Thanks

Where are you located?

You should be able to find someone close that can get you a good tune with HP Tuners or LS1edit. That's the route that I would go with atleast. A lot of dyno shops should be able to help you out with this as well as dyno tune so that you can get the most out of your mods.

i believe that Predator can add fuel..so then yes, I can't remember how much spark it can also do, but i'm sure it can. I know you can get custom tunes for it.

the best tune you could get would be with a dyno-street tune where a shop or someone tuned your car with efi live or hptuners
