PLEASE HELP!! mail order tune
Hey guys.
Also posted in the internal engine tech, but I dont think that was the proper place.
I plan on buying the following.
Pacesetter LT
TSP true dual kit
yank ss3600 converter
3.73 gears
I will obviously need to tune for the rearend and trans modifiations. I was told I could do a mail order tune from lsxtune.com. Will this be sufficient?
Also, I will not necessarily need a tune for the exhaust right? Or should I just pick up a hypertech for cheap? I can get one for around $100 right now. Thanks for the help.

In the end its up to you, most places like lsxtune dont just do mail orders, they actually have huge shops that dyno/road tune and have done a crap load of them. After doing so many they get a feel for what needs to be changed with what add ons. im pretty sure if they cant get you spot on , itll be close. But like I said its your dime.

go get a real dyno tune. every car is individual, so its hard to have onr tune for every car. Plus if you plan on adding more mods later, most shops will give a discount ot return customers.
if you still want to get a mail-order tune thats cool, but dont do hypertech. the hundred dollars? you're better off wiping with it. it may gain something, but once you start putting more stuff on the car, youll kick yourself for wasting your money
