Default Question !!!!

I have an 09 corvette and I am thinking of having it programmed which one would be best. Letting a tuner do it or buy a hand held programmer

Whichever doesn't affect the warranty.

Is there anything done to the car? If not you would probable get more out of a tune if you did at least a basic intake/catback exhaust.

And unless you have experience tuning you will probable get more out of a professional tuner. But both handheld and taking it to a tuner are effective as long as you know what your doing

They all screw the warranty.
On my dads 2010 Camaro SS He had ted genety do a custom tune and it was a whole new car after he got done. You tell him the mods you have done to your car and he makes a tune that corresponds with the mods. If you get a tune i would talk with him. It's not cheap but it's worth it.

Might as well take the 400 bucks and throw it out the window then spend it on a handheld...get yourself and cai and catback and bring it to a good tuner
