Default Frost tune hp gains?

I have a 98 ls1 m6 camaro. How much hp gain could i expect to get from a frost tune with full bolt ons (pacesetter longtubes, tsp true duals, slp lid, ls6 intake)? What other bolt ons would you prefer before I have it tuned. I want to make good hp with bolt ons for now.
Built motor later haha

I picked up 20rwhp on a dyno tune with bolt-ons. Mine is a 02 so I already had the LS6 intake.

I got a tune by frost and where as i didnt get a before and after dyno after the car was tuned for my boltons it was the difference between night and day. I fell in love with the car all over again after Frost tuned it.

Default Need pcm or dyno tuning go to frost tuning best tuning you can find

You need tuning and this is where you wanna have it done or mail orders, THIS IS THE THE PLACE, best tuning for LSX powered vehicles, my best regards to Steve Williams himself

I just got my pcm back monday. Tuned for my LT's TSP TDs and LS6. The same mods your asking about. I drove it for a week untuned and got to drive it this week tuned.
The biggest difference I noticed was improved mpg, Seems like the gas was just gone UNTUNED, everytime I got in the car it costed me a 1/4 tank with minimum driving.
It does seem to perform/run better that's for sure. You can definetly "feel" the difference.

I'll be getting my PCM back this Monday as well. Agree with Justin hover though.

While my PCM was out, I took the chance to redo some exhaust; mainly cut the 2.75" section off my TSP Y, weld on the 3" section, and convert my LM1 to a MagnaMouth.

The insides of my pipes were RICH with soot/carbon. I know I was running rich as hell, and my MPG's sucked.

I appreciate all the replies!! Still looking for the ls6 intake. Running low on $$ now, being in college isnt cheap. I tried contacting him and his pm's were full so i posted here. Hopefully I wont lose to much mpgs until i can get it tuned..

I'm gonna be sending mine off to him soon as i get the chance for some down time. I know its running pretty rich at the moment. I asked him before and he said anywhere from 10-20 hp usually.

I got mine back on Monday. HOLY ****. Best mod TO DATE!

I really don't know how to describe it. It idles PERFECT, throttle is so smooth. Just feels "tougher" throughout the RPM range. Took a 150 mile trip and didn't burn near the amount of gas I usually do either.

^^^ Just fill out the tuning sheet with your info/mods/comments he does the rest. Are you untuned from your mods in post#1. Or are they not installed yet?

I'm going to send my PCM out this week to Frost. Only thing i dont have on the car now is the ls6 intake. I have the slp lid, pacesetter lt and the tsp true duals. With other little things. But i cant afford to lose many mpg's so i figured id go ahead ans have it tuned.

Did or are you deleting your rear 02s, egr and air? That go along with "race" headers, and a ls6 intake.

How do you like the duals? What mufflers did you get? I just did the pacesetter,
tsp tds (sweet thunders-under axle), ls6 combo last month. It sounds and performs waaaay better than last year..thats for sure.

I love my frost tune. I took some buddy's for a ride. The first thing they asked is why the shifts are a lot firmer. They got theres "pc" tuned locally and there's shift like normal so im guessing their tuner didn't mess with shift pressure? What are the cons/pros of increasing shift pressure as opposed to leaving it alone when tuning an auto fbody
