going to get my car dyno'd thursday and was just curious as to how much the car can actually be tuned. What all is "tuned" when tuning?

Tuning is any kind of aftermarket work that improves performance. The sky is the limit with enough money.

traditional tuning would be adjusting things like fuel mixture and ingnition timing. You can't do much of that on modern cars so bolt-ons have become the game.

There aren't much you can do if you don't have extra FMU with you. You could swap in and out different sizes of Vortech FMU to see how your car respond to the different air/fuel mixture. On my car, I can swap in different combinations of nitrous or fuel jets until I'm satisfy with my power output and a/f ratio.
