Post any recommended tuning for my new set up ?

I will be finished real soon if I ever get my parts from Dal .

Anyway I will have 195cc Afr heads with full cnc porting - comp package along with the Lt4 hot cam, rockers , and intake ...lt4 timing chain .

I know nothing about reprogramming my computer . I am loking into getting a laptop and going the with a tuner cat . Is tunercat pretty simple to use ?

Yes, tuner cat is easy to use. Just takes a little looking at it. Now tuning is another thing all together. I am not that great at it and taking little baby steps and a lot of data logging to get where I'm at (not good enough to offer advice with your setup).

Start out with a generic heads/cam LT4 program, and work from there. When it feels pretty good overall, hit the dyno to fine tune the AF and if something is still not quite right, then maybe your timing is too agressive/weak.

I found I could work the timing pretty well on the street, then finished off with AF on the dyno later, playing with the timing with my remaining dyno time didn't change much of anything, so it was pretty "spot on".
