I'm looking to get mine tuned afterwards as well.

Sound like a great install. I might have to take some pointers from you. I want t install this myself just have to find someone willing to help me out with it.
he has added headers and a few other parts....still no tune... I told him to get his AFs checked.... but some never learn until its too late.

no it needed a tune bad my friend... you always need a tune... the base map stopped at like 5K rpms... then my AFs went to over 15!
the tune is the most critical part IMO...
even if you have to take off work drive 4 hours to get it tuned....its worth it. I recommend shifting at 4K rpms until you get your air fuels checked. If they are ok..then running without a tune is OK, but still not recommended man.
Id would get a tune even if I changed my oem mid pipe and muffler to a different exhaust. The tune is EVERYTHING man...

I got my cipher as well as my plx wideband afr to check the tune on it.
so the base map on the unichip is useless and needs to be tuned over 5K rpms huh? looks like I'll have to find someone in Houston or dallas to do it then while I'm gone.

if you have those tools you maybe able to use those and not the Unichip at ...although you would need to take your time and know your shizzil. I think its doable though....just becareful.
I would use the tried and proven, tested, Unichip then add little details as required. But the Unichip takes over at WOT right...so if you use it, it trumps the factory ECU settings.

yeah I talked to a unichip tuner in texas and they said the unichip setup for this is great and he wouldn't even touch their tune since it's really made for the car.
he said to run it on a dyno just for the afr's and see how rich/lean it's running but to use the PLX wideband I've got as a gauge as well as the shop's afr that I'm dynoing at.
anyways, if it's off I'll figure out a solution. I have confidence though that Vortech knows what they're doing and they chose unichip for a reason.
