Do they work together or does the trem need to be blocked?

block it from raising pitch or it will not work.

not sure about that, it should work fine w floating trems w/o the need to readjust spring tension.
Just pul it to the out position, tune to drop D, lock the locking nuts, you're good to go.

Don't see how it could work with a fully floating Floyd. It needs to be blocked to be dive only with enough tension on the springs so that when the 6th string is detuned it doesn't move the Floyd. If it's fully floating, any change in the tension on the 6th string will knock the rest out of whack.

Per the d-tuna instructions:
1. Stabilize Bridge:
If your bridge is flush mounted against the body of your guitar (does not pull up) you can skip this step.
If your bridge "floats," then it must be stabilized. There are two different ways to do this. The easiest way is to "block" the bridge so it doesn't pull up. Use a shim or wedge on the block of the bridge in the tremolo cavity. Make it snug so that the tremolo base plate is level with the body and will not pull back.
The other option to stabilize and still be able to "pull up" on the bar is to install a tremolo stabilizer or stopper. There are many options for this, please consult D-Tuna customer service for a personalized solution to meet YOUR needs best.

I stand corrected!
I actually have one in a new guitar I got (which incidentally had an ESP arming adjuster, which blocks diving) but haven't bothered to mess around with it yet....this thread got me interested in it now!

Definitely needs blocked

It will work better than no DTuna. You'll need to fine tune, as opposed to blocked bars that snap accurately into the note...fine tune is better than unlocking the nut. But an even bigger issue is if you have a cavity routed, the DTuna will likely scratch up your paint
