I am all stock except for I/E on the vette. Should I get it dyno tuned as far as getting a base setup for the car or no? I do plan to continue modding it but I think I might make my next mod a winter project. So for the rest of the year does the dyno tune sound like a good idea? ---

without headers, I wouldnt bother…right now you MIGHT squeeze out 10-15 more rwhp, and IMO thats not worth the 450$ ++ for a dyno tune. also depends on your next mods. If your going to just keep it all bolt ons (intake,headers and exhaust) you can do it now…but if your going to do heads/cam or F/I in the near future a dyno tune right now would be 100% pointless. why dont you come to the Dyno meet this saturday in Lathem at C and C motorsports (its in the shift events forum) and throw it on the dyno for 70$ to see what its making right now… ---

Ah, thanks for the advice. I would by headers right now, except it would be money wasted based on my next project. I would just be replacing them anyway… ---

I’m not going to hide it, I have already started accumulating monies for a twin turbo setup. I am going to install everything myself as a winter project. But there isnt enough time this year to have it all installed and done. I would rather put the car up during the winter to do the install so im holding off until then. ---

Is the base GM tune that great where you can only squeeze out 10whp with a good tune? What about drivability (torque management) and things of that nature? ---

The APS kit is quality enough the install is certainly do-able yourself. ---

I just can’t get over the “white trash” image of them. as long as you get a LS1 F-body, you wont have the white trash image unless you grow a mullet. also, you have a F/I car with a forged motor from the factory…theirs alot more potential laying in your tune to gain more HP with bolt on’s then with a N/A car ---
