Default first tune ?s

I getting tuned by BB on Monday and want to make sure that I get the most bang for my buck with the tune.

I just threw on my headers and now in the process of blocking off the EGR, cleaned up the engine bay with simple green and wondering what other things I can/should do before tuning on Mon.

I was thinking that that I should do:

-new plugs
-clean air filter
-clean throttle body

I'm sure that I missed some things, anything else that you guys would recommend doing before the tune?

cool man thanks. I think I should be g2g then. I have less than 20K on my plugs. I'll have a full tank of 91 come tuning time. Tomorrow is the day, can't wait!

I didn't get much in the way of responses on this one but Justin from Black Bear informed me that any aftermarket MAF sensor will have to be compensated for along with an aftermarket CAI, he says the stock system is just fine and actually works better.

The other things I listed were more just general maintenance.

Oh yeah, make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks, I removed my smog accessories and missed an inlet. No biggie, just stuck a vacuum cap on it and it was fine.
