I have a '00 TA and it has the mods listed below with 3.42s. It feels fast but not as fast as it should for its mods. I have ridden in a few cars that I think would give it its moneys worth and they are nothing special. I even got beat by a LS2 GTO with traction being a minor issue for both cars. Very minor. And I was always under the impression that those were slower than F-Bodys...? Maybe I am mistaken.

My question is, will a tune make a night and day difference in HP? Or does it just cure daily driving issues. I want to be surprised when I get a tune. Or im going to be mad.

 

You need to get it tuned.

 

wait...you have bolt ons, a decent cam, a stall and larger gears.....and you ahve a stock tune

HELLO

you could be leaving 15...20...30hp on the table, not to mention all kinds of DD issues.

 

Basically anything you do to your motor a tune can benefit you.

 

dude you need a tune, you will see a world of a difference after it.

 

WOW, you need a tune for sure! Day and night of difference, not to mention it could be leaning out possibly too amoung the drivabiltiy issues, etc.

 

WOW! I wouldn't even run it hard with a TV3 and no tune. If that GTO is stock though you still should have absolutely KILLED it IMO.

 

I'd recommend www.fastchip.com

Might be a little more than you want to spend but Ed's a hell of a guy. Hands-down one of the best at what he does. If you could make a trip to Tulsa for a dyno tune, I think you'd be very very happy with the results.

 

I'd recommend finding a reputable tuner in your area and taking your car to get tuned asap.

 

+1. Get that thing tuned ASAP!!!!

 

My car basically just has a lid and a catback and I noticed a very nice gain tuning it myself on EFI Live.

 

wow dude yea definitely get a full dyno tune man!

 

Listen to the man. Ed fastchipped my 02 ss and it made the difference of a ford to a chevy.

 

LMAO

 

LS2 GTO's and LS1 F-bodies are basically a drivers race. With you mods you should've destroyed it, especially off the line with your converter.

Get that **** tuned ASAP!

 

Hell yeah get a tune!

 

Im sure your getting terrible gas mileage without a tune. Plus with the cam and stall and no tune your just throw money away on gas.

 

Its on the rich side. Bad lol. And dd'ing sucks. But thanks for the info. I was getting a tune soon anyways....just wanted to know what to expect :-)

 

tune that bitch!

 

look at my power numbers, a good tune does help. I payed 350 bucks for a dynotune. Just make sure its a safe one and your not pushing your car to the breaking point everytime you mash it
