Default Tuning a Vortech

I am getting my 2000 gt tuned this next Friday using Diablo Sports software. My question is what key perameters should I be keeping an eye on as they are tuning my car?

The tuner should know everything he needs to keep tabs on. Ideally he'll want to keep an eye on temps, and monitor spark and fueling, not too much to it once the tune is set up properly.

that was good.

Well I got the car tuned and I am very disappointed. It only put out 301rwhp. I know without looking at the graph you won't be able to see any specifics, but what should I start looking at. Most people are getting at least 350rwhp. The tuner did say I was running out of fuel, so I am going to change that out this weekend, but would that make that much of a difference?

Can you post the graph?

That does sound kinda low...although the best tuner in the world cant overcome poor fuel delivery....

i would start by maybe changing the fuel filter if you didnt hange that in a long time, that might be your solution rather than upgrading you fuel system at 300 hp.. how much boost?
