Tune after LT's I need a few things done. Im running rich, gas milage was bad. Plus the !AIR, !EGR, !CATS. How much does that run? Does it cost more to have the AFR changed? I dont want a dyno tune. I just want it drivable and streetable. This is really directed too the local sponsors. I know there are a few shops out here.
Thanks

500 bucks at MTI. They did a hell of a job. All I have on the car is a lid, ls6 intake and headers.

I dont want a dyno tune jsut because its not needed. Ill eventually do a moderate H/C and intake. Thats when the dyno tune comes.
And id rather have a reputable shop do my tune than some dude from katy lol.

I had G-Force do my initial tune to help me get rid of a detonation problem. I went back to them to install my LT headers and they re-tuned it at no additional charge. I'm not sure if they still do lifetime tunes, but it's definitely worth the investment to find a shop that will do that, IMO.

my friend just got his headers and lid 99 SS tuned at SQR. picked up 23 hp. and it got rid of some hesitation and richness that hadn't been worked out by the stock ECU. Definately worth it IMO. Oh and they knocked off 100 bucks b/c it was "just headers".

Just a little update, Eric (aka E.S.R.) tuned it for a great price and did a good job. I just pulled of 19mpg, mostly short city trips, without an exhaust, and a noob m6 driver. Not to bad IMO.
I want to get it dyno'd, and maybe pick up a dyno tune as well after I finish a few more mods, for that ill either go to HPE, GForce, or Connleys
