dyno?

I am going to a place to get my car on the dyno. They said that they are able to tune my car as well. They mainly do mustangs though, and im not sure that they are qualified to tune my mazda. I was hopeing for some advice to tell these people when they go to tune it. Is there some guidlines when it comes to tuning the FD?

My mods: Apex'i PFD w/commander, HKS downpipe, K&N cold air box, greddy smic w/hard elblow, bonez hi flow cat, greddy evo exhaust, hks bov, aluminum ast.

Please help me out. These people seem great, but I just want to make sure they won't hurt my baby. Give me some tuning advise to give them.

dont do it unless they will pay for your motor when they blow it. however, as long as you stay south of 11.5 a/f you will be fine. dont let them mess with the timing.

I wouldn't let anyone "tune" my car unless they have experience "tuning" rotary engines...
Run a little lean and have ONE hard ping and it's time for rebuild. But you already knew that
