The tune will do more than any of that did

Yea, and I got all of them after my tune, and then retuned, and got basically nothing

It does feel faster, I gained a little torque, and it sounds good. However, if you're looking for actual numbers increasing on a piece of paper, you will be disappointed lol

My torque went up by about 10 after the ported stuff and cats and xpipe, not sure what caused it because I didn't retune until after putting them all on. Hp went down by 0.4.

It's definitely a lot better than stock, but hindsight, saving all that money for turbos would have been better. Oh well. Life

Damn, I missed the post where he said he had the CAI.
(At least he has a catch can, right?)

ok thanks for that guys, how much did you guys gain from a tune?
might have to wait a bit its hot here in australia haha, might wait for winter, how do you guys measure your tq readings? we do it in newton meters of torque i think when i got my LLT manifold ported on my last car it went from stock 135 rwkw to 155rwkw and increased by 100nm of tq hope to see something decent with the LFX https://www.facebook.com/MpwServiceC...type=3&theater |

the company in that link did my last manifold and will be tuning my car this time, one of the best in melbourne specialise in gm engines, also can do custom supercharger or turbo kits for 10k bit to much for a v6 if u ask me but make big power,
those LLT power figures are stock went from 135to 155 with just manifold spacers and the porting nothing else |
