Default what kind of power will a dynotune give me

I have an lt1 camaro a4 with a hiflo cat, flowmaster muffler, soon mods are hooker supercompetion headers, cutout, k and n intake, throttle body bypass, airfoil, 180 degree thermastat, and possibly a dynotune. I know i can up my shiftpoints to 6200, and turn my fans on early, but will there really be a substantial horsepower increase? Is it worth $300? i was going for 300rwhp from this setup, is that possible? also wondering what size injectors come stock in my 93 z, and what size i should get if i wanted to run nitrous? There is a guy in town with an sr20 240 with upgraded turbo and cams running a mid to high12. I was wanting to run with him

possibly, $300 is cheap for a dynotune. id definately get it. with a dynotune, you can tweak and squeeze all the power out of the motor. with my last dyno tune, i gained 10rwhp (440 to 450) up top but the mid range and low range I gained a ton. plus the gas milage was alot better and overall the car was WAY better to drive

Is it worth $300?

YES


i was going for 300rwhp from this setup, is that possible?

i doubt it being your a auto. i bet 260ish

also wondering what size injectors come stock in my 93 z,

dont know

and what size i should get if i wanted to run nitrous?
dont know
