Question How much would i gain??

I just installed my new cam (tr224/224 114) in my 01 ss and was wondering how much hp gain could i get from a tune? I have slp long tube headers, ory, slp dual-duals, airlid w/airhog filter, smooth bellow and i never had it tuned. About how much could i gain??

Also only one of my header"s air tubes is blocked, the other one doesnt have a block on it, does this effect performance at all? Thanks

You mean your air fitting is wide open on the header? That must sound like hell. And spew a lot of extra heat into your engine bay that you don't want.

As for the tune, depends on how rich you've been. Anywhere from 10-20 rwhp possibly. I really only gained 10 rwhp, and I have a few more goodies. Other people gain more.

Tune hp gains vary greatly. It just depends on how poorly your car runs without a tune.

20hp is a good guess though. The thing I liked best about a tune for me was the part throttle response and power. Increasing timing a lot down low helps a bunch for daily driving.

I'm w/ the rest of the crowd here, 10-20hp depending, as far as your peak #'s I'm guessing 380-390whp.
