Power increase over stock tune How much power is left on the table with the stock tune on a stock car?
How conservitive is the stock tune?
Any benefit of a tune on car with minimal mods such as cat back and a lid?

the stock tune is very conservative.. on a 2001 fbody the tune commands a very rich 11.7 to 11.4 AFR at WOT. optimum power should be around 12.8-13.0 for an NA car so there is power to be had there.

The automatics have the dreaded torque management?
M6 cars do not correct?
I just got HP tuners but my car is pretty stock just a lid and cat back.
I have parts that I am going to install over the winter. Heads,Cam,Longtubes,5177 dry and True duals.
I am going to experiment with optimizing my tune on my car now so that I "might" have a clue after my H/C swap.
