Tuning suggestions when adding a SC
I will be adding a SC 
to the mods in my signature, I own LS1 Edit and will have to drive at least 5 hours to get to a tuner, any suggestions on mods to make. I am installing a Procharger P1sc and 42lb Green tops.
Thanks Kirby

Kirby, if you spend any more money... spend it on a tuner. Please allow an experienced tuner to tell you what you need based on feedback they obtain while tuning your ride. What are your power expectations? How many miles on the long block? Recommend health engine check which might include a dynamic compression check, and/or leakdown, coolant system pressure check, general inspection of plugs, sifting of oil during a change, etc... What flavor S/C kit are you going to run? Daily driver? Pump fuel? Race Fuel? Mix? Drag race? Road Race? Weekend Warrior? Future expectations? These are questions and observations you need to discuss with your tuner. How close is Phil @ DTE in Fort Wayne?... or driving up to see Chris and Doug at ECS?
With your setup... ya might want to at least discuss a diff strut kit with Phil at DTE... 3.73's,3200 stall, and a Procharger equal alot of strain on the diff/tranny mount if ya hook just right.
Looks like you have a solid foundation to build on... keep us posted on your progress.

If you have Edit you should be able to get it running pretty good for the ride there.Your setup is pretty basic nowaday's.
