Tuning after LT's and LS6?
 
I just installed a set of Pacesetter LT's and an LS6 Intake. I was wondering what i should do with the tune? Thanks!

If your asking a question like this, should you really be tuning it yourself?

you are a lot braver than me. i think i would just save up the $150 and let Steve Frost tune it for ya. a tune would definetely be worth it with those bolt ons. maybe 10rwhp or so and not to mention the extra torque those two bolt ons put together could provide with a good tune.

x2 plus a search in the tuning section would help

if you tune it wrong you can lose your motor.


a so called pro tuner near me was sued because a few of his builds blew up.

I will be tuning it with a buddy that has experience tuning multiple forced induction cars. He hasn't really tuned many bolt on cars with a MAF. I was just asking so that I could get a little insight on what has to be done, isn't that what this forum is for?

Perhaps you should have added that to your original post. Most of us were trying to help you... trying to help you not blow up your motor. Your better off posting this in the tuning section, if you haven't already.

Yea i will post it in the Tuning section also. I didn't think all the extra stuff was need in the original post. I just wanted to get straight to the point. Sorry if i came off the wrong way to you. I wanna learn as much as I can, so I ask questions.:D
