I want to send mine out to Frost for a tune but haven't put my LS6 intake on yet. Do you guys think I'd be leaving a lot on the table by doing the intake after the tune? Right now I have headers, ory, cat back, 80mm tb and maf.

6 speed car here, no 'wow' factor like everyone here mentions. Happy with the tune, but the headers themselves made a huge difference, the tune didn't really make a huge difference, I could feel.

I drove up there, not quite a 2 hour drive, and got him to re-tune my car on the dyno. I got it tuned first with the same mods in my sig minus the TSP headers/ORY. I was surprised at the gains from just the TSP headers. I went from 331HP/337TQ to what's in my signature. He knows what he is doing!!!

I sent mine to him and I would say my car just ran smoother afterwards. When I drove it after I installed LT"s it was stronger, but after the tune was much better. The thing I liked the most was the tuning of my fans. Keeps everything so much cooler and no more annoying CEL. Turnaround time was awesome as well. Great experience and a awesome mod.

I just got my pcm back monday. Tuned for my LT's TSP TDs and LS6. The same mods your asking about. I drove it for a week untuned and got to drive it this week tuned.
The biggest difference I noticed was improved mpg, Seems like the gas was just gone UNTUNED, everytime I got in the car it costed me a 1/4 tank with minimum driving.
It does seem to perform/run better that's for sure. You can definetly "feel" the difference.

And it's untunned, I've driven it 320 miles and the gas is insane. I eat up a 1/4 tank driving to class (10 miles away) and back. Smells like gas through my HI-Flo catted Y-pipe when I'm at a stop light. I just sent a PCM I bought off eBay to Frost to get tuned. I can't wait, it's almost unbearable driving around with that terrible MPG's. I hope the tune helps out in that department. And I haven't hit it past 4000 rpms because I'm worried about hurting it.
