For a manual, no. Not even worth it for an auto, not really big changes. If you really want it tuned, buy HP Tuners suite, get a wideband and either read the GM I4 section in HP Tuners forum or contact me.

If you guys are racing at the drag strip I'd say a set of drag radials is all you need. I own a 3.7 and it's not like they sixty all that great.

If the rear suspension is stock, this is true. If he's done anything to eliminate wheel hop, this is far from true. 1.5-1.6 60' is pretty common for a bolt on, suspension and tired 3.7. I used to be a really, really big disbeliever on what those things could do - until I saw ones properly setup.

I know he has no suspension he was on stock rims his tires look kind of worn too

Stick that launch and ride it out. I think you'll get him if he's not paying attention.

Is the 2015 v6 camaro faster than the 2015 v6 mustang?

Come 2016 things should get interesting.

So I found a guy out here that can do my tune on a dyno I'm hoping it turns out better then the can tunes. Guys got a good rep tho he's out in Turlock california.

Had to comment on this lol. I agree...leaving out the turbo 4 (b/c we all know with an aggressive tune, and tires that little guy is going to run 12s) but with the claimed "nearly" 300 pounds lost, more power, and an 8 speed auto I just don't see how a 2016+ V6 with proper bolt ons and tires won't get into the 12s.

Its ashame we haven't seen the 5th gen V6 get into the 12s like the Mustang guys have, but it is going to happen for sure this time around. I think the 2016 V6 is going to be awesome. I'd love to have one, but this time around I think I'll be going with a 1SS.

Good luck. I really hope he knows what he is doing. VERY VERY difficult to find a local tuner that can tune the LLT. At this point I wouldn't trust anyone to do it, except for a few tuners on here. I don't think anyone else has a clue.

As far as "canned" tunes...I had Trifecta. I had it for awhile, but never really noticed much in the way of gains. Over time it even felt like the car was getting sluggish, so I went back to stock tune. It felt as good or better (I lean towards better) on the stock tune. Eventually I went with the IPF tune. Now that tune really does something. Noticeable improvement in throttle response and low end pull. It stays with the car too. I recently removed the tune when I sold my car, and the loss of low end response was noticeable.
