yeah, i'd get rid of the hypertech tuner, you're gonna have to delete that "tune" first before you get it actually tuned. and also get rid of the timing advance chip..

then go get it tuned and dyno'ed

i'd say maybe 340 - 350

Hypertech is no bueno, and ive never heard of a timing advance chip and im on here just about everyday... Get rid of those 2 things, get it dynotuned and u should have about 350. I made 334/345 with just volant intake, QTP LT's, crappy restrictive 80 series flowmaster exhaust and no tune and a bunch of exhaust leaks. I should be makin 360 w/tune, EWP and my tru duals.

the only thing good a handheld tuner is good for is if you change gear size often or tire size and want to recalibrate your spedo other than that they are worthless!

Timing Advance Chip??? lol.
That chip wont work unless you have a flux capacitor.

That chip if it does anything at all, wont help you, let the PCM control the spark timing, dont fool the PCM, it relys on accurate sensors, if you put crap in you get crap out. Same as a MAF translator fools the PCM too.

I would prefer to tune myself, you are the only person who is willing to get great results, many other tuners (not saying all) do it for money. You will give it the attention required, asmittedly there is a learning curve. The two main ones to choose form are HP Tuners and EFI Live.

The clutch wont give you any power increase. But the other parts with a tune I'd say about 25 to 50rwhp extra. Depends how far out your current tune is. Also if you are getting into tuning look into getting a WB sensor and guage, then you can tune for WOT.

get it dyno tuned!!! it's worth it. prgramer w/o dyno tuning the car will probably give you only 345rwhp if your lucky. you should be above 350rwhp. my numbers in my sig. are 2 years old. untune and burned out plugs i made 335ish rwhp, dyno tuned, 351rwhp and plus the SLP under-drive pulley 353 and 370 rwtq.
point blank, get it dyno tuned. worth it.

You already have an ls6 intake, so with long tubes, catted Y and cutout, I'm going to say 340. And handheld programmers don't do much, better off reverting back to stock tune and selling it.

Dyno tunes generally run $400. But re-tunes (after you pay for the base tune) are much cheaper. Lots of the sponsers here have tuning capability. Best to go to your regional forum, and ask around, see who does good tuning in your area. You are bound to come away with a few names you can trust and go to.
