2012 SS Manual Coupe -
Bolt ons so far: Hurst shifter, BBK CAI, Axel back flowmasters.. Question- How much more HP do you think i picked up so far and how much more should i expect to get by buying a tuner and installing say the 93 oct tune?
My thoughts have always been if it runs good it can run better.. but i am hesitant to go with the tune due to warrantee issues, and for $300. I want to make sure the gains are worth it.. I'm not really taking it to the strip, just like to know i am getting what i can out of it without getting into cams and the motor.. I know headers would also help but probably not going to go there for the time being..
Thanks

You May have picked up around 15 xtra Hp with your bolt ons! I wouldn't worry about tuning because of your warranty! Won't gain that much from it! Do a fuse pull, for the 93 octane issue!

I would say for my "uneducated" guess.. maybe 10-15? Especially with the Hurst shifter..

Well if your not running 93 octane now you should switch over. Your motor will thank you when you do. As for HP like 10-15 RWHP. Most of it coming from the CAI. A axle back exhaust doesn't give much if anything at all. It's mostly for sound. And the short throw will not add any HP obviously since its just to minimize your shifter throw times.
