checking new/used car for a tune

hi, can someone recommend the best/most economical way for me to read the tune on my new used ZLE?
it has a 2.30" pulley and a big gulp on it and maybe more.
and it feels like there is a nice tune on it, motor and tranny.
im hoping i can read it but i have no idea where to start?

"Easiest" was would be to buy HPtuners for your car and go that route. Also helps for any future tuning as you would now have it unlocked for your car.

what is the learning curve like on HP tuners? is it menu driven? easy to follow? can a tune be locked and/or will it read it?
there is a New Era Performance sticker on the radiator cowl, I sent them an email;, hopefully I will here back from them as well.

HP Tuners as a software suite itself is intuitive and easy to understand. The real learning curve is with the actual tuning process, ie understanding how engine and transmission controls work on this platform (torque model, speed density, virtual volumetric efficiency tables etc).

Goat Rope Garage had a nice intro series a few years ago on the Gen 5 LT platform (this is the LTx engine generation, not to be mistaken for the 6th gen Camaro designation):
