Is a S3 TB worth a redyno or retune??

Just wondering if anyone has seen a gain from retuning after installing a ported stock tb. I could go just to see how much rwhp it picked up, but it doesn't feel as strong as it did with the BBK tb I had borrowed while it was being ported. My dyno tuner is pretty cool, so if there was to be no gain from tuning, he probably would let me slide on that.

its not really worth it unless you're a dyno queen. it doesn't appear like you are, so no.

Cool. Thanks. I know it didn't make any more power with my ls6 until it was retuned, so I wasn't really sure. Hope to make it out to the track Sunday.

The additional air flow the engine will get is just enough to make a few more ponies at the ground but small enough for your existing program to compensate for.
