Ya, I agree with getting it tuned. After I installed my LS1 my dad & I actually thought the tranny might be slipping somehow because of the way it would shift (later we were informed it was actually called "excessive torque management"). After my tune it felt wayyy better The tune will take care of your shifting and get that little extra "oomph" out of your modifications.

I'm waiting on getting mine tuned after my cam in spring. Don't want to spend 400 bucks for a dyno tune now and turn around and spend it again 2 months later after the cam.
