Would there be any advantages of tuning my bone stock LT1? Stock manifolds, computer, O2 sensors.

Whats relatively new is the plugs, opti, wires, ICM, gutted out Cat, water pump.

Since that is a tune up would tuning the computer have any advantages or is it just a waste of time and not needed?

I think my injectors are going out and fuel pressure might be alittle off. Seems to lose power up top on the RPM range.

depends. ....Paying someone? **** no..You doing it, what do you have to lose?

Your money is probably better spent buying a nice free flowing muffler and having a local shop weld up their own cat-back. Have a nice new tone and a few better MPG's assuming your foot doesn't get heavier

Obviously when a car company designs a tune it is designed to work everywhere. It will not be optimal for the area you live in. So a tune can benefit you. As stated though, pay for it? Nope.

A bolt-on tune is well worth it. Throw in a 160* thermostat and get the tune. Use Alvin at pcmforless in Mooresville NC, it's only $149 for the chip.

Yes, it would be worth it.
But, rule out those 'injector and fuel pressure problems' FIRST!

Every car can use a tune IMO. The factory optimizes power with strict emission control, while leaving a fair amount of fuel economy and power on the table.

And it is definitely worth paying someone to do it if you have no idea what your doing. A rebuild is a lot more expensive than letting someone that knows what they are doing do it.

Yes there is value, they run pig rich from the factory under WOT.

Get headers at least then have it tuned

I would think that is a safety precaution. Better to run rich then lean. Im thinking I better figure out the fuel problem 1st before anything.

Solve the problem with fuel and add some bolt-ons. In my opinion tune bone stock is money waste.
