Default Which Basic Systems to Change

I’m installing a midrange cam soon, and plotting out a checklist for the subsequent tune. I know next to nothing about tuning, only some terms I’ve picked up reading posts.

So my tune list is not for the technical engine tuning, more the supporting cast of systems, like fan on/off temps, etc.

Here’s what I have so far. Ideas or suggestions welcome!
  • Fan settings
  • Torque management
  • 1-4 Shift light
  • Steering wheel lockout

I’ll have a professional tuner do it. No clue what software he uses.

All I know is that he tunes street and race cars.

if your tuner is worth half his salt, he will set you up correctly. turning off the rear O2s will be among the things.
