Tuner Recommendation

What type of programmer is recommended for a 2016 SS? Thinking about a Diablo 7201 Predator 2... Any feedback would be appreciated.. Looking for some more HP for a reasonable amount of money...

I would just go with a custom tune. Any "off the shelf maps" are going to be good but not great.

New Era Performance in Augora Hills tuned my boosted 6gen. So far so good

1st off, why are you tuning? Any mods?

SCT is a much better choice for handhelds than Diablo

I believe boosted tunes are about 550ish? Its been a while.

Alex is a great dude and easy to work with. Doesn't have an arrogant "sell em up" "my customers are sheep" or "are you buying or not" attitude I sensed from others. He was also the closest to the shop where I was working on the procharger install so it was a no brainer.

The chevy tuning community is PACKED with dramatic ****s shit talking the life out of each other. At the end of the day its AFR and understanding the platform. Alex has been tuning DFI for a WHILE before the 6gens and has many many LT1s under his belt including vettes and 6gens.


Another shop I got great treatment from was ARS. I have heard NOTHING but good things about them, but their distance and schedule didn't work with my goals. They're all about the same in price and 50 to 100 bucks here and there isn't a bank breaker imo.
