Default Minor problems after H/C setup and tune

After my ETP 215 heads/cam, QTP LT headers, clutch, and UD pulley installed and dyno-tuned, there are a few minor issues I have to deal with.

Speedometer-doesn't function on HUD or gauges
Cruise Control- doesn't work at all
low battery voltage (12.4)

DIC Problems:
-fuel options not working
-odometer/tip mileage readings not working

Anybody know what may be causing any of these problems? I am going to have them worked out by the end of the week (hopefully) between a dealer mechanic and my installer/tuner, but I was just seeing if I could get some info on what they may be beforehand.

Thanks!

Nick

when the clutch was done the speed sensor was probably not plugged back in. That explains the odometer, mileage and speedometer. The low voltage might be the power connector left off the alternator. Check that first.

Thanks!...that was our suspicion as well....Do you think the low voltage would be due to the UD pulley?

No, its not from the underdrive.. Check the alternator first and let me know.

Well, I talked to chris at Carlisle last summer, of ECS, and after his answers I just read, I am impressed. The idea of a tuner who is well known and very well thought of in the industry giving those answers is incredible. Most tuners don't seem to chime in very often.
I wonder if Chris can make my Z a little quicker??? ..Skip
