Tune for the Z28

I want to get a tune for my car, mods in sig. I was going to save up and do a dyno tune, but that is mainly for getting the max out of your car at WOT, I believe. What do I have to do to get a street tune for daily driving?

The car has long tubes, and I believe it really needs a tune.

Thanks

With those mods, you're fine on the stock tune for daily driving. Are you done with the mods? No cam or Heads/Cam? If yes you are done, drive on the stock tune till you can coin up for the dyno tune and be done.

I also got a few codes shut off for future upgrades along with CAGS and torque management disabled and it was all done at a great price.

Too many if's so you are fine for now so save the cash and follow SweeTbone's advice.

If you can find someone in your area that does street tunes, do it! Your driveability will be much improved over stock. Most street tuners will charge anywhere from $200-$400 depending where you live and if they use a wideband to fine tune your part throttle fueling.
