Pulling the big gains out of these cars is not just in the AFR... Bit of timing / phasing changes.. Some torque management changes and boom you have a whole new car

Yeah, if I remember right on my car when stock we got most of the gains by tweaking the AFR and timing. Didn't get much from cam phasing though.

Im interested in more info/opinions on a LFX tune as well...

Can anyone recommend anyone in my area? I have talked to my dealer about a tune and they claim that they will do one for $650. Didn't get much more info than that. When I asked if it would void my warranty they said absolutely not. Apparently the dealer I bought my car from is known for Camaro and Vette modifications (or so they say).

I think Jason is also working to port his manifold to match the 80mm throttle body upon special request.

I'd love to hear from an LFX owner that has had an Overkill tune. I'm considering going with their tune but would love some feedback from anyone here that has had their LFX tuned by them. Anyone?

I'm quite new to the Camaro LFX scene but I've been tuning LFX engines in other platforms like the Impala for several years. I look forward to doing more Camaros here on the forums and having good local referrals.

The tune service includes the Autocal handheld purchase, datalogging (scanning) with revisions to dial things in, retuning for new mods at no charge, and I have tuning for my 80mm throttle body, flex fuel conversion etc which is all done inclusive in the price.

I'm trying to decide if tuning my 15 LFX is worth the hassle and void of power train warranty. I have a few bolt ons and am thinking about doing a few more but was going to get a tune this week.

Just can't make up my mind if it's worth it or not.
