Default Lifetime Tune

Hey guy,

I just got pacesetters installed at RPM performance in lewisville, TX. They specialize in LS1's and have a lifetime dyno tune for $400. You just have to pay the $60 dyno fee anytime you want them to tune your car.

Do you think that it is worth it to do that?

Yeah you just have to pay the dyno fee and thats it. Would it be worth it to get my car tuned right now with the mods i have. How mush Hp do you think i could get out of a tune?

I have a couple friends that got dynotuned at TSP since they are local to us and they are right under 350HP at the wheels with bolt ons on their LS1's. Something like 342-348...I can't remember exact numbers but a good jump after the tune.

See how long their offer lasts. If it lasts forever, use that 400 for a new cam or something.

20hp either way.

considering many places charge around $400 for a 1 time dyno tune only, and with this you can essentially get that plus free tunes forever, i'd jump on the offer.
