Today I finished putting on the following parts on my car and now need to get a tune.

Chicane RIPP CAI
Chicane 66mm S/C pulley
SVT Focus fuel pump
Accufab 75mm TB
NGK TR6 plugs

I have never had a dyno tune done before and I am not sure what to look for in a good tuner. There is only one shop in my area that does dyno-tuning, so I want to make sure that they will be checking for everything that needs checked. If they don't, my only other option is to go the mail order tune route. My ? is what needs checked and measured besides h.p., torque, and A/F? I also have a 90mm LMAF and 42lb injectors that I haven't installed because I am not sure if I will need to. Will the tuner be able to tell me if I am pegging my MAF meter and if my injectors are maxed out? I plan on using a SCT tuner with an X-cal II because I heard it is the only one that will read the Saleen "powerflash".

Order a mail-in tune from MPH they will also be able to tell you all you need to know. Just tell them your mods and what you want.

The best way to go is to a dyno. What type of tuning device will they use(SCT X-Cal,Diablo Sport or some type of chip). I'n sure they'll check youe A/F ratio. Also see if they can datalog the car for you. The datalogger can be set up to check other parameters of the car(fuel curves,O2 sensors,timing,and so on). I see that your S/C'd so You should probably install your MAF and injectors. Some one else chime in here. You'll definitely want a hand held tuner so you can "play" around with things. This is the advantage you'll have over a chip. You'll also be able to data log the car yourself. Call them and see what's up. Pearl02.
