Im assuming you have an lq4 ecm right? Not sure what the l59 is... Either way, yes, start by copying over the base tune from a similar year lq4. Watch out for if it's drive by wire or cable. Dying at 175 F Probly means that it switches from open to closed loop and then freaks out. This behavior will change with the lq4 tune.
Im using the innovate lc2 as well. It is 1 inch after the collector on my longtubes. Wire it exactly as they say, 12v relay and all. You'll also need a null modem adapter to connect it to the v2. Don't try and run analog with it, waste of time. If you havn't already, read the sticky "calcvet" and idle tips and tuning. Then read them 5 more times.
So, injectors should be taken care of with the lq4 tune. Do idle tuning first, Ditch the autoVE and definitly do CalcVet next , it calibrates the VE and maf at the same time. Rear 02 gets deleted. I left my knock sensors alone with the 228r and gave been fine.
Im no help with trans tune...
Gotta go to meeting, Hope this helps.
