if the rings dont seat within the first few minutes of the engine running they never will correctly.

find a tuner and talk with them

the going rate seems to be 150-170...since it is all brand new stuff requiring break in...I would break it in on the dyno. Is the P28 socketed? do you have some sort of engine management (hondata, crome....)

Click on the link below for a tuner directory, find a tuner in your area and give them a call and see what they reccomend.

All depends on what else you're planning to do and how soon. If you plan on throwing some more parts on there in the next few months then I'd wait. Different parts can change your tune.

if you're going FI I'd wait and spend the money on FI first. Say you spend the money on tuning now then you go FI in 6 months-the money spent on tuning NA is pretty much gone except for the parts. You'll need to retune.

got boost that was a waste of bandwidth.

You are using aftermarket cams and a different head on a GSR block with a single slam ECU.

As doood said, it's either broke in by the time it's warm or it isn't going to. Tune the car now before you hurt the thing running it like that.
