Default Countdown to DynoTune!!

Just got back to NY a week ago......and pulled the Fox off the flatbed on Monday.........Damn she was DIRTY!!

Got her cleaned up, and getting her ready for the (Mustang) Dynotune on May 31st!!

My question is, is there any prepwork I should do before putting it on the dyno?

I have my timing at 14 now........are they going to mess with that?

I was wondering if they get into your fuel pressure reg/timing...in addition to tuning the chip?

Change the fuel filter, that was basically all they told me to do when I had mine dyno tuned. The place that did mine set the timing back to 10 degrees and put the fuel pressure back down to 40psi. I assume they adjusted all the timing and fuel curves in the chip. I say assume because I never got to see it run, just got a call, a sheet with the numbers, and a bill.
