Changing the position/location of the MAF sensor AND the primary O2 sensors can drastically change how your vehicle runs and performs.

To put this into perspective I trapped 109.7 mph with an ET of 13.12 in my 2012 LS3 SS when it was factory stone stock back in 2012 with less than 1,000 miles on the ODO.

Did you try a "fuse pull" and than do another pass? To many factors here...but your MPH is indicative of stock HP.

I'm still paying on the car and want to be smart with not tuning. I'm not exactly sure if my dealers are mod friendly and don't want to find out.

I've trapped as high as 113 with less mods. I've done the fuse pull but not for a long time. My car is basically stock though. Not much done to it at all.

You might be hurting your car more by not tuning. Just a thought. Dealers can still void warranty from a cai or shorties as well

Ive also thought that....

A dealer could, but I still have all my OE stuff in the garage. I could easily put my car (engine wise) back to stock. With a tune can't they check if the ecu has been flashed?

I've seen his thread before but just revisited it. With his mods, he gained .2 in the 1/4 just by adding shorties then fine tuned the spark table and gained .3. Very impressive especially with a NA bolt on car. I think the best thing I can do is get my car tuned.

I have no idea how friendly they are and a bit of a drive but autonation Chevrolet up in Clearwater/largo area was very mod friendly. Been a little while since we lived there though so may have changed

Yeah that is a bit of a drive. A few minutes over 2 hours with no traffic. Appreciate a point in the right direction though.
