Who gets a tune after just LTs install?? My car Is acting reallllyy strange. Its a M6 and Ill go 10 miles an hour and have it in neutral and the car is still moving forward...and not even giving me a clue its slowing down. When I drive and come to a stop it idles while slowing down to like 1000+RPMs, and then will correct itself. When I start my car up it ****** stinks like its running rich as hell and have white smoke(vapor) coming out. I dont burn any oil..Some one help me????!! Do I really need a tune?, whats going on with my car? Anyone in houston area have HP tuners or LS1 edit?
Thanks Ya'll

You definitely need a tune after installing headers. You might as well invest in a tune from one of the sponsors here. Because you will need to retune it every time you make a major modification like that. Either that or buy a laptop with the software. Nobody ever said that modding an LS1 is cheap.
Take it to G-Force. I thought they did a good job on my WS6.

I've had LTs for a while now and I still haven't gotten a tune. I would say I've had them for 5 or 6 months. Car runs pretty rich though, once I get my NX kit installed I'll get it tuned

No.
It is fine to drive around after a LT install w/o a tune. I did it for 2-3 weeks. Finally took it to HPE, 1st dyno pull gained 15 rwhp, second gained 25 rwhp total. It is worth it.

More then a few sponsors to chose from. Also you can gain power from a tune on a stock car.
