I just had the Dynatech SuperMaxx system installed last week, and I'm getting a dyno tune next week. I will let you know what I gain after the tune. I'm very interested to know myself.

I gained another 22 horses and 15 ft lbs with a tune. Not to mention i made better power under the curve than before, and had my shift points adjusted, fan settings done, and had my shifts fimed up nice. Tuning was one of the best things i did after the headers.

I didn't gain SQUAT as far as MPH in the 1/4 between stock 99 manifolds and Y pipe with cats vs LT's and ORY. All it did was change the sound and make the car smell rich as **** (no cats). If I would've gotten it tuned, it would've surely ran better. Good thing I'm selling those headers, and going back to 01-02 manifolds for the turbo.
