when i hear 'tuning' for an lsx i think of EFI live, and HPT
These are actual computer programs that you can change your entire fuel maps, and do very unique tunes depending on an array of mods. It is almost an art when tuning with these programs, but alot of people use the pre-programmed flash type handheld tuner. The custom tunes will generally see bigger gains because they are ussually done while on a dyno, and they adjust everything to maximize torque, and HP were you want it. If you don't do a dyno tune it can also be done on the street, but a dyno is just easier ussually. I don't know much else, thats just what i've learned from watching my buddies mess around w/ their heavily modded lsx's.
