When to dyno tune, planning on getting mods, but want tune now
Hey dudes,
On my 97 A4 - I got my 3.42s and Yank TC back in 2001 and used a Hypercrap to program. Since then, I never revisited it and didn't realize how outdated the Hypercrap has become since 2001. After doing some research I want a dyno tune now and throw away my Hypercrap. However, I have plans to install and do a few things and I want to know if that will affect my dyno tune. I have some C6 Z51 bars in the garage ready to go on. I want to put on some Bilstein sports or C6 Z06 shocks. I am planning on getting a tune up early next season on my almost 13 year old Vette.
Should I wait to get the suspension upgrades installed and tune up completed before I get a dyno tune or will it not make a difference?

Doing a tune before you put your suspension parts on wont make a difference if you do the tune after the parts are put on. It all depends on what you want to do first.
The only issue i might see is when you replace the shocks you may get some crazy BCM codes or service vehicle soon annoying messages--Only thing is HP or EFILIVE can't turn them off---You have to go to someone with a "tech II " I think to get rid of the issues--Do a search on here and I've seen mnay threads ond posts on this mod---
So it may be best to do your tune with someone who can get rid of the codes too AFTER the moda are done---save yourself a trip--
