The manual V8 is easy to tune. But remember that version of the LS3 has been out for over 6 years. we didn't have to wait but a few weeks before we could buy stuff for the LS3...
Now, the L99 is still a big problem for aftermarket companies. especially the TCM.... there are a lot of tuners that won't touch it... it's by no means easy to tune. So even on the V8 side the auto is a problem.

I got an idea. What about we give them some time? You know, back off a little, and see what happens. There is such as thing as too aggressive, being the first to market might not always be the best thing. Let's not rush things here, and let them develop products that aren't going to create issues, but rather provide the performance we all crave!
The car has barely been out a year, let's have a little patience and maybe we'll see more stuff done.

I will say, that calling out tuners that have a healthy business dedicated to the V8 crowd, who is much easier to work with.... Makes it difficult to justify the time and effort when all you get is grief for not doing it soon enough/good enough....
These guys are doing all they can to keep up with V8 demand... why would they jump into a market that is significantly smaller and far less tolerant?
Just something to think about.....
But like I said in another thread.... I would love for someone to figure out how to crack the code on the v6...
I do believe you will see FI (probably turbo) with a tune on the manual V6 long before the auto....
