Tune only option for ZL1

Hey guys, I'm looking to get some extra power out of my ZL1. Not looking to do headers, cams, change the SC pulley or any of that, just a tune perhaps. I have done my research but still have a few questions.

Should I do an off the shelf tune or get a custom tune?

Is it beneficial to tune without doing other mods? If I'm looking at an extra 20 HP or so then it wouldn't be worth it to me obviously.

I saw a intake/tune on one of the websites that was like 700 or so, I'm thinking of maybe doing that.

I have access to 93 all the time

Can you guys recommend a safe and reliable tune that will get me some extra power?

Again, looking for simple, just some extra power and safe and reliable

Thanks!!!!

Check out our MyCalibrator handheld tuning device that uploads our custom tune file. On a stock ZL1 and 93 octane fuel we are seeing about 30-35whp and 35-40wtq on tune only. I would recommend our MyCal and a RotoFab intake package for the best bang for your buck.

Check out the link below to our website featuring products for the ZL1.

Give us a call if you have any questions.

Hey I would like to give you a call. What is the difference between intake+tune and tune only? Also, I see the one kit is for a dyno tune, where would I have the tune done at?

Installing the Roto-Fab intake along with our tune you would be looking at roughly 7-10 whp increase over tune only. Dyno tuning would not be necessary for this situation as we have a tune we can provide you for these modifications.

Give me a call if you would like and I can answer any other questions or concerns your might have.
