Default CMS...Looking for advice/opinions

CMS...
A couple years back (Nov '09) I was part of a Dyno day at your shop and had a baseline done (2004 GTO - JBA shorties & exhaust w/K&N FIPK...319/340). Since then, I've been planning and buying parts for "upgrades".

The short list includes...
P&P 243's,
Ed Curtis cam (with new springs, valves, lifters, etc.),
90mm TB,
...other supporting upgrades,
Maggie TVS1900 (or 2300).

I will be bringing it to CMS for tuning. I was thinking about installing everything minus the blower, having it tuned, then installing the TVS and having it re-tuned. I imagine that would only be necessary if I wanted pre-blower numbers (or just had money to burn). Aside from that, since I will be installing a DuSpeed (similiar to the Vararam) intake, should I plan for a SD or LS3 MAF tune? Which would benefit me more?

Thanks.

Not trying to sound like an ***, but why don't you just PM them?

As much as I can "safely" on the stock short block. I'm not trying to hit any magic number.

For the fuel system:
- Siemens 70# injectors
- LPE Fuel Pump w/ a Magnavolt

Though it is addressed to CMS, I invite other opinions as well. Also, "they" don't have a singular user name. Ryne has one. As does Mike.

Thank you for your insight.

It's a custom grind from Ed Curtis, so I will PM the specs to you.

Also, I may go with a 102mm TB from Hendrix.
