I am going to a dyno to tune my car up to get some extra power out of it. I know about tuning my cam gears which is one thing i am going to be doing but how do i tune the motor to get more power from the header that i have on there?
 
as far as i know the only way to tune your header is to swap it for another one.
i think it would be helpful if you would provide the following so the question gets answered properly:
-engine
-list of mods
 
r u talking adjustable cam gears if so and u have a dohc motor u can tune for the exhaust side this is basicaly a fine tune for your timing but that is what people usually say to tune your exhaust flow u can sometimes get up to 10 horeses at the wheels with a good tuner good luck <_<
 
ohhh...i get it now...i wasn't too clear on the question when i first read it.
 
no its just a sohc but i want to get a little more power at the top end is there anything besides messing with the cam gear that could tune the header?

get a vafc.. use your fpr .. make your a/f 13.0:1 and you can't "tune" a header...
set your fuel pressure at 38 psi to start (with the key on, ignition off)
