Going to get my car street tuned soon...need a base tune please!!

I was wondering if anyone had a base tune for me to work with as a starter. I'm currently running the GM stage 2 tune.....Interceptor guage reads 3.4 KR and I'm losing power just past 5250ish RPM. Also sometimes when at high speeds and RPM i get this skip like it misfires or loses fuel for a split second. That's just not cool to me!!

Trying to retune for the mods I have......

GM 42.5lb injectors
2.9 Nate's pulley
ZZP Midlength Header/DP (1.75" primaries to 3" collector and 3" DP w/Magnaflow cat and 2.5" exit)
2.5" magnaflow catback exhaust
NGK 1 step cooler copper plugs
K&N filter in stock box w/silencer removed
cobra/garrett HE (IAT2 temps range from 95-140 depending on weather)
poly trans mount inserts

I just need something to start with....so if anyone has a tune they can shoot me that has my mods in consideration would help a whole lot!!!! Looking for about 11.4-11.8 AFR, tq management removed, and 50% boost in 1st gear also.

thank you ahead of time.

DUDE I have the GM STG2 also and I get that SAME skip in 2nd gear!! What is that?! And btw.. Not to burst your bubble but you will be needing a clutch SOON. Mine is already done. And you are slightly more modded than me.

i'm new to tuning (HPT)....and the guy i'm going to work with is as well....just something to view as a starter and to tweek for my car specifically. also dyno tuning isn't in my budget at the moment.

wow, im really surprised your getting knock w/ that setup.
btw, street tuning fails if you dont have a wideband... like what are you planning on tuning? you need to know whether its your timing that needs to be adjusted or if its your fuel curve and w/o a wideband thats impossible. Dyno tuning would work better they got instruments to monitor your AFR

with those mods i really dont think you should be knocking... you should really do a once over everything, and i def suggest checking out your maf might have gotten wet and you just need to clean it up

i'm gonna get a O2 bung welded in my d/p and a wideband for it. hence the reason dyno tuning isn't in my budget...lol

before i installed my h/e, header/dp, and having a 2.85 pulley on my car....i dynoed only 222hp because i had a shitload of knock past 5000 RPM......dunno how much but the chart looked like a heart rate monitor on crack! plus i could feel it happening when i drive.

since correcting it all.....i still get minimal knock that i want to get rid of. i'm sure it hurts more than helps. plus a tune w/all my mods in consideration would be nice.

you're judging me based on my username though?? i mean i'm a good guy, open minded, easy going, and more......just because i don't like hondas doesn't mean i'm an *******. i mean if you don't want to help....that's cool....but to not want to help because i choose to be more outgoing w/my opinion on one car company seems kinda ridiculous.

i can most def respect the power folks get out of some hondas......hell the K20 is an awesome motor!! and one of 2 Hondas I'd actually own is an S2000......the most N/A hp per liter of any car in the world w/o boosting it....that by itself is truly pimp.
