Tuning hte Car Tomorrow - First Time
Taking the car to get some VAFC and cam gear tuning tomorrow. This will be my first experience at the dyno and I feel like I'm going in a bit uninformed.
Is there anything I should know, things I should look for, questions I should ask?

Be present during your tuning run and perhaps not drop off and pick up. You never know what kind of day the tuners having & may decide to thrash the R on the rollers to vent some frustrations.
Use references and good judgement. Tuning is some what of an art form so view previous works, gain feedback and that which best satisfies taste is your man.
Then again....... I do like Bbasso's idea.
Good luck.

just let them do the magic. i'd just be attentive. 
oh, and if you're actually going to be in the driver seat when the car is on the dyno, it's simple.

Fuel, cam gear, distributor, fuel. Thats the order I would go for. If you spend enough time concentrating on the cam gear/distributor timing, you can pick up some healthy numbers for bolt-on ITR's.
Good luck.

..... check http://www.hondata.com and click on the tuning section for information on the what/ how/ why's of tuning.
Good info and a good read.
Even if you won't be tuning it yourself, you will be very well informed.
