When i get tunned

I am planning on it in about a week since I finaly have money, or lets say my credit card has no balance on it, i am gonna get tunned. is there anything i need to tell them when I get tunned.

or is there anything i need to know before hand? I wanna be safe. and get a good tune... it will be done localy, and by a shop that has established a good name here in town. so anything i needa know or need to tell them.
for instance should i tell them to raise the 2-Step launch controll? or anything in that matter?

Thanks

~Elvis

mod list, what type of driving you do (road race, drag), and the octane of fuel you will be using is important

I would find out exactly what they are tunning before you get it done. I was flash tuned by Al at DynoFlash and he clearly spells out what is tuned, that way you know exactly what he is doing. From there, you should just be able to provide your mod list and octane.

Yeah, not sure why people always put that extra "n." I don't know what would possess someone to do that.

Anyway, COEVOPOWER, you actually track your car? I haven't seen you at any events yet. Who do you race with?

I know why someone would do that. It's called a poor education system. You can blame it on Bush and his no child left behind policy. If I have a doubt on how to spell something I will look it up. More people should do that as well.

As far as getting it tuned, COEVOPOWER, you will see great gains after you get it done. It is a very noticeable difference.

its all bush's fault

anways, just do some maintenance before you go. change your spark plugs, oil change, compression check, all fluid check, boost leak check if you can, an MAKE SURE FILL YOUR TANK FROM THE GAS STATION YOU GET MOST OF YOUR GAS FROM!!! I cant stress that enough!!!

good luck
