Default what would a stock ls1 gain from a tune?

well i got 373s installed so obviously my speedo is off........would it be cheaper to just get the speedo recalibrated, or should i actually get a full outtune? what would i gain with a tune in a stock 1998 z28 M6....thanks

I'd just get it calibrated. You definetly wouldn't gain much from a tune.

no idea on price. but if your going to get a tune at least go to a dyno guy and have him tune it. 10-15 horsepower isn't much when it comes to the old fashioned butt-dyno. you wont even notice it hardly. Your better off saving your money and dropping it on an exhaust system or lid.

Ive seen cars pick up bout 10hp from a stock car with a new tune(Dynosport in Lincoln). And only cost bout $100. Only took a hour. He did alot of work on my 04 Cobra and recalibrated speedo for bout same price.
