    Need a good tune!

    I'm buying HP tuners soon and I want to know where i should start with my tune. Never tuned before but I want to know some of the stuff I should change to make my setup run the best it should. 99 SS M6. 04 Z06 longblock with SLP headers intake and flow pack. Stock injectors, fuel rail, MAF, coils, MSD wires. And also what do people mean when they talk about tuning in speed density. These may sound like stupid questions but I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to working on computers
    Thanks

    Step 1: Read. You have a lot to learn.

    Step 2: Come back with questions on specifics you do not understand.

    Step 3: Start tuning.

    I have never read that file, but I do know there are several errors in there. The best bet would be reading stickies and just searching.

    Greg Banish's book "Engine Management Advanced Tuning". Also any tuning guide you can find will give you an idea on general process and procedure. All will tell you something slightly different so pick what seems right to you. That is also where the questions come in. Have fun reading.
