Default First Dyno

Hi, as you all know - I'm new to HondaCivicForum.

In 4days time I will be taking my car to its first dyno tune.

Any tips to what I should ask for or what I should look out for - if there is any.
Or should I just let the "experts" do their thing?

Great forum this is, bye the way

At the moment, basically nothing.
Only a K&N flatbed airfilter. - car hasn't been on a dyno since.

I also read that changing from 97octane leaded fuel to 95octane unleaded fuel can cause your timing to go out.

so i just want everything sorted for the moment...

the car only ran on 97 since I've got it - for about a year now
now 97 isn't available anymore, so now its on 95.

97 octane? where in the hell you get that from? Down here and every other place i have been to the highest you can get is 93. 97 is like a race fuel for me.
