People always want to go fast, but add extra useless weight to the car.

To the OP, sounds like a bad tune...and if you use one of those Ipod things or anything else like that to find your 0-60 time, its not going to be accurate...

Yup sounds like a weak tune and the extra subwoofer in the trunk adds a little more weight, so thats gonna bring it down a tad.....I say get a dyno tune and you will be a lot happier.

Well the 156 MPH part of the story is what is normal for an SS (Electronically limited to 155). So, no problem there but 0-60 in 6.5?

I did the runs at around 2am. Measured using speedview app for android.
-I was planning on buying something better from autozone, like the bully dog tuner for performance testing.
-I really hate the factory sound, that why i added some subs. Although, this afternoon I took 'em off. I guess i'll be riding stock weight for a while - at least until the dyno.
-Also, i was planning on asking the chevy delearship to update my MAF sensors to the newer ones ( i saw this post somewhere recomending that for the earlier 2010 camaros), I hope it helps to with the tune.

Do a search on this site for FUSE PULL. You need to reset your fuel tables
