Default Dyno tuning?

Currently Its not a big thing to worry about considering I dont got my Ls1 yet for my truck. Anyway I see every body talking about getting there trucks dyno tuned, and my problem is that as far as I know there is no one in my area with a dyno so what do I do?

have you ever done your own tuning

if not your best bet is to either learn how to tune or find someone who can and do a street tune

a street tune is actually better than a dyno tune cause thats where you spend your time

Well we need to know where you are from for one.
If there is nobody to send ya to within a reasonable driving distance then you can get a mail order tune from someone.

That's not true.

Without using a dyno, you have no way of knowing what the best timing is for peak torque.

A tune that is set up on the dyno, then completed on the street is ideal, as it allows for the tuner to set up for the best timing and also have good street manners and transmission tuning.
