Hand held tuner

Hey guys, I don't know if this is the right topic to be posting in, but can anyone tell me what the best hand held tuner is for an LS3? All I have done so far is cat back exhaust and cold air intake. Any information would be much appreciated.

Save your handheld money for something else. Unless you start getting more mods the tune isn't going to offer all that much. Especially in a stick car.

Exactly, with those mods it's a waste of money. If you go headers later id look into a custom dyno tune first.

Good to know. I do plan on headers soon as well as throttle body and cam.

I am having the cam done at Henderson Motorsports locally and they can dyno tune when they do it. Might as well have him do headers and throttle body also. No worries.
