Default set up / tune ??

hi everyone.

think my car needs a good set up, going to book it in with a local tuner tommorow.

was just wondering exactly what is involved in a set up ie what parts are adjusted tweaked etc. to match fuel, boost etc ??

im runnin stage one msd with front mount, piper cam scorpion.
stage one was fitted last year but unable to be tuned correctly at the time due to valve spring issues, now sorted. ive had to replace loads of parts since aswell. now im happy with everything and ready for another set up.
my car seems to run out of steam in 3rd at about 5500rpm. is this normal (dont think so).

should it boost all the wasy to the red line ??

how do your cars perform.???

thanks

This should give you some idea what to expect from a setup:
