Tune scheduled! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

mpsgolf · 03-22-2017, 06:53 PM

My tune is scheduled for 9-27-17.

Because:
1. Warranty ends 9-26-17
2. 60th birthday present to myself
3. More power = GOOD

Too long to wait. Just kidding, I'd be chomping at the bit.. good luck

Get some long tube headers and a cam to go with your impending tune. You won't regret it and early happy birthday!

BubbaSS · 03-22-2017, 09:53 PM

Definitely install those parts you have pending before the tune...What a great gift!

Why wait? If nothing has gone wrong now I doubt in five months it will. Plus what is to say the day after your warranty is up and you install your mods and tune something doesn't break? I would do the mods/tune now and then if something happens maybe you can take it to a mod friendly dealer for the fix? Just an idea? Plus, that is five more months of enjoyment. Trust me, after the install, you will say to yourself; I should have just done it sooner! : )

You will like the mods. I did the same parts and tune and got 32 whp and 24 tq. Then the stage one cam really woke it up!

60 isnt old nowadays - even though my joints sometimes think so. Actually I retired in Oct 2016 and started a custom furniture / finish carpentry business. My long term goal is to get sick, run out of money, and die all on the same day (while having sex on a golf course). But not any time soon!!
