Basic Tune or Dyno Tune, that is the question.
Basic Tune or Dyno Tune, that is the question. I'm going the be having my car tuned in the spring. Can't decied whether to do just a basic tune or a Dyno Tune.
My car is going to have SLP Lid, Ported TB, LS6 Intake, Pacesetter LT's, 3400 Stall W/ lockup, 3.73 gear (changing from 2.73)
Is it worth it to Dyno tune??
What kind of gains basic/dyno

at the shop i was gonna have the tune done at, they do what is called a "basic tune" set's new shift points, adjust's A/F and removes some trouble codes and some other things as well.. Obviously a dyno tune is a little more thorough and costs more.

I would definately go with a dyno tune since you have LT headers. A lot of people run lean after a LT header install which will rob some HP. If you get the dyno tune they will adjust the A/F and probably gain you anywhere from an extra 10-25 rwhp depending on how far off it is.
I gained 29 rwhp but I was an extreme case. New Era Performance told me that my car was running so lean that the motor was at serious risk had I kept driving it like that
