What is a tunes true worth with these mods - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have been going back and forth on whether or not to tune my car. I am looking at several options, HP Tuners, SCT, e-mailed tunes and dyno tunes. It's a pretty costly expense regardless of which path I go. I understand the warranty aspect so lets not get into that.

My car has Solo Hi-Flos, New Era Intake, and GMPP exhaust, I'd like to know what is a tune's true hp and tq value compared to untuned for these mods?

Future Mods, underdrive pulley, shorties, and maybe a Whipple in the distant future.

Many will say until you get headers there is not much difference. I have the Predator Diablo turner with their tune installed. I have felt a difference when I go back to stock. When the time comes after I install long tub headers I will get a custom tune from Jannetty (for example) that I will download with my tuner, with the ability to go back to stock if need be.

i had JBA cats, cat back, CAI, and got dyno tuned and made 398WHP. my car ran great. stock Ls3 put down around 365 i think. its not all about the gains though. the car "felt" better. and if you get a tune now. the next one will be cheap as long as you go to the same tuner.

369rwhp with cai and exhaust. 404rwhp after the addition of LT and Tune. Net gain with LT and Tune =35rwhp
