Any time you program the ECM it can risk the warranty if you have to go in for power train issues. GM may ask for the history and that will show it has been tuned.

HP Tuners - $499.00

Remote Tune - $400.00.

We don't lock the tune. I also will only charge for changes if you change the modifications done to the vehicle.

Thank you,
Tim

I am pretty sure the headers and exhaust are close to optimal on this car. You might gain some high end power at the expense of low end torque.

The only power mods you will see worthwhile results with are E85 tune, cam, heads, supercharger.

E85 and tune, hands down, best bang for the buck. And I've sprayed one of these with 150 wet shot on e85 and haven't had fuel shortage issues yet, granted he wasn't full bolt ons. But was still able to go in the 6's with just e85 and nitrous, nothing else.

E85 is not the way to go IMO. That's not a huge gain for the added hassle of having to find it. Depending where you live I suppose it could be different. To each their own I suppose. Not to mention the worsened fuel economy.

You can run either any time you want with the flex e85 tune.

Worse fuel economy. But cheaper. Works out to be about the same depending on prices.

No need for envy... You can always order a 55gal drum from vp racing fuels. And they guarantee every barrel to be 85% unlike any local pump.

Adding to the chorus, Best bang for the buck? No contest:

Ported TB and intake, Flex E85, good tune, drag pack, and good driving.

Proof? 11.07 and apparently there was more in it. See below. Forget dynos, this is the real thing.

Almost makes me want an automatic.

And how did you come to this conclusion? Gains from LT headers with matching mid pipes range from 25-40 rwhp. It may be abit pricey for some but it could be the difference between a slow car and a fast car....

Erm, nope. http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=472259

Headers gave 31 when combined with an MSD intake and rotofab, a combo that had already delivered 16hp, so thats a gain of 15 from the headers

Headers with a tune might give 25 on an untuned car, but most of that is coming from the tune

IMO, LT at most 15 HP, but they do offer a strong mid and top end. I would say 8 HP from the header, 7 HP from the loss of all 4 cats.

So we base every thing on one individual test ,one individual shop right along with one individual car? Not buying it... Just like his test said a slight drop in torque on the MSD also... Not signing up to the one shop one test is law deal... And also a full exhaust will give you right at 30 rwhp. I've seen it with my own eyes... Just gotta know what parts to pick..... The headers he used are dynoing less than another leading competitor. And I will just leave it at that....

Apparently you need to put a dislaimer on that 11.07 run that it was done in negative 1500 foot DA.
