What do I need to do to get the car ready for a dynotune?
I have an SCT switch chip. The car 'needs' nothing, most maintenance items have very low mileage, and the O2s were recently replaced. The AWSF-22C spark plugs only have a couple thousand miles. The only thing I could think of is clean the air filter and MAF, replace the fuel filter(maybe 10,000 miles?) and possibly a seafoam treatment. I'd have to check how long until an oil change is due.
I still have to install the Meziere electric water pump, but I'm not sure that would be a tuning factor. I thought about replacing critical sensors such as cam sensor, crank sensor, the ECT sensor and IAT sensor?
Most of the mods coming after the tune would be suspension/handling. One day I will get the ported intake installed and possibly long tube headers. But by then, I'm sure the car will surely need something major before then and redirect my attention.

well if you want to if you have not done it recently. clean your whole intake, throttle, IAC valve. how about changing to newer fuel injectors, instead of using fuel injector cleaning treatment? also what is the life expectancy of fuel injectors! years, milage?
