Any non-Camaros with "Extreme" good or bad factory tunes? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

OBSSEST · 03-28-2011, 02:44 AM

My limited knowledge of tuning comes 100% from Camaro5 forums.

My questions is directed at tuners who have worked on many different types of cars and trucks over the years.

Are there any makes and models that stand out as having EXTRAORDINARILY bad factory tunes? Cars or trucks where the gains are huge compared to what is typically gained from tuning an otherwise stock car? Conversely, are there any vehicles that seem to have exceptionally great factory tunes, where there is almost no improvement that can be made over their original specs?

Worst I've seen - TBSS and G8's. All of them
Fair to bad - all GM trucks mostly due to green house gases.
Good -Most C6 Z06 vette's.

Camaro's -not bad for M6's. Only seen 4 that the tune's were way off but thats around the engine and the way the factory built it.
Camaro A6 - The factory A6 tune just sucks ,bad.
