To pricey for me. I've used Ls1 edit before and I'll find it again and tune it myself. Had my C5 pretty dialed in.

Thanks for the info

500 for a head/cam car tune is not a bad price, like to see you get a better price. like i said he is the best in socal by sheer experience with these engines.

If $500 is too much for a h/c tune, imagine paying 6 bills for a stock tune:

It's cool if you want to spend $500.00 to have someone do it. I had great results doing it myself on my 97 C5 H/C car. The car picked up about 18 Rwhp over the crappy Superchips handheld programmer. No it wasn't a Dyno tune but I logged quite a few hours to make it right on.
