Tune After LT's Installing Pacesetter LT's w/ ORY. Who with LTs got there car tuned after the install? How long after your LTs did you get it tuned? Was it a noticable difference?

Use the search and you'll prob. find tons of articles on this, but a tune is not necessary for most - however it will help. Yes the exhaust set up will be a noticeable difference

you really do not need to.. your computer will do a great job of recalibrating itself.. a tune will jsut get your tables down to wher it should be, get a better A:F
totally up to you. what mods do you plan on in the future? if you NX or Turbo, Cam or SC you will need to retune again..
all depends on the future

Did you guys reall notice a difference going from being untuned to being tuned??
Because there are no shops around me who tune F-Bodies, and its rather expensive, so I'd rather not get a tune unless absolutely necessary.

Ive posted this several times before.
After my Pacesetter LT and ORY install, I had it dynoed. It put down like 308rwhp, then after the tune within 10min it dynoed 334rwhp. If you were to take a bone stock car and get it tuned, you would show some gains. It will not hurt anything, but you are leaving some out on the table. If you are going to be doing H/C or anything else anytime soon, just wait. I had a 6 month gap and had it tuned anyway. It was worth it to me. Just my .02

Yes TUNE IT! I went aboput a week after LT install w/o a tune. My gas milkeage was TERRIBLE!! I used about a half a tank driving down there. ESP tuned mine. I got 36hp out of it. THey said that the LT's flow more and the computer thinks there is more air in the EXH so it in turn richens it up, killing power and gas mileage.
