Not an LSX, but an impressive V12 twin turbo Mercedes Say whatever you want about German cars, but you have to give Mercedes Benz credit for offering a line of V12 twin turbo cars to the general public. And boy, do they respond to a tune.
Stock hp and torque are in the dotted lines:
531rwhp and 688 rwtq bone stock. All in a 4800 lb 4 door sedan.
After a laptop tune (still stock intake, exhaust):
582 rwhp, 840 rwtq. The dip after torque peak is wheel spin on the chassis dyno. Just be careful when picking on some unassuming 4 door Benz. You might see tail lights.

Mike, I was there for the dyno session, but can't take credit for the tune. Jerry Thornton from Eurocharged (LET) in Chicago e-mailed the tunes to the client's laptop which was uploaded to the software that LET uses for MB tuning. It's a very similar arrangement to your CMR software. Log the dyno or road file, then e-mail the logs to the tuner who is off-site, then the tuner sends the revised calibration via e-mail to the client (just like we do with Diablosport CMR). The client loads the tune into his handheld programmer (like the Predator) and then reflashes the vehicle. I believe the program is from Germany. I wish you guys had some CMR software for the MB vehicles as I would be all over tuning them. For this session, I was just a spectator.

And MB tuning pays alot better than LSX tuning.

With all that torque I was surprised I was able to keep it strapped down tight enough to get any traction at all.
I need one of those cars so I can actually have some leg room.
Patrick I think it goes for 5 to 9x for MB tuning.
