Not all tuners are half-asses stealing more than my dentist makes per hour, just the ones you describe.

It's not a custom tune if it only takes 17 minutes, I don't care how good you are. That's why his numbers suck, because no one spent any time with his car.

I have an LS3 and with the same mods, kooks lt's, hi flows, magnaflow street series cb and a k&n cai I was at 420rwhp on 91 octane.

I am afraid the others are correct. He half-assed it. There is still a lot of room for improvement.

LTRS777 · 09-02-2015, 10:31 AM

Keep in mind he also road tuned the car. Probably copy/paste tune, then did the finite stuff out on the street.

Outlaw77 · 09-02-2015, 10:35 AM

I'm curious OP what were your stock numbers?

blackedOUTSS610 · 09-02-2015, 11:29 AM

I have an L99 2012 Camaro 2SS/RS and I used the same tuner. He is a buddy of mine. I made 330rwhp and after a CAI, exhaust, headers, tune I made 360rwhp.

Homeless Man · 09-02-2015, 11:40 AM

The tuner I went to had a lot of good reviews on here though

LOL, why isn't this posted in the tuning section?

Because right about now, he'd still be waiting for a response...

Stock hp is 426 right? Don't most stock LS3's dyno at around 390-400rwhp stock?

No way... Anything above 380whp is very strong. If you use 15% drive train loss most LS3 cars should dyno in the 365rwhp range give or take depending on dyno, weather conditions, and the particular car. 360-375 is common for an LS3. If you do 380 or above in less than ideal conditions then you got yourself a strong car (but again consider that dynos vary). Lots of L99 cars only do 345-355whp when stock. But 390-400whp for the LS3 is extremely uncommon.

miller8907 · 09-02-2015, 09:55 PM

Seems low. My LS3 put out 414whp with only a cold air intake and high flow cats. Stock tune.

Homeless Man · 09-02-2015, 11:38 PM

Well I guess it's until next time that I get some heavy duty mods and do a retune. Probably cam w/heads?

damian559 · 09-03-2015, 12:22 AM

Those numbers seem extremely low. I don't think your tuner did a 100% job.
