new to this ls tuning I got a 99 z28 m6 car. Just put LT headers on with cat less wye pipe. I know I need to get the car tuned to ajust for the the headers and stop kicking the engine light. Car is stock except for headers, y pipe and borla catback. Here's my questions....
Am I better off just going with a mail order tune? Or Dyno tune?
What kind of power gain should I see with either tune?

you will see 10-15 hp from having your car leaned out at WOT. Trans shifts will most likely be quickened and firmed up a bit, and the codes for EGR, AIR and rear O2's can be taken out. You will be fine with a mail order tune.

There is also LSX Tuning who is a sponsor on here that can give you a mail order tune. I have never used him but he is on here helping people out all the time and knows what he is doing.

I actually have a similar question, not trying to hijack the thread. Just put long tubes, true duals with x pipe and was told it leans out the afr. Do i need some software or chip to tune that or can the stock pcm be flashed? I want to get it tuned but in the mean time do i need to worry about it running lean? It seems to run fine save for when i get on it it will occasionally backfire upon deceleration. If temp matters its about 65 degrees average over here so relatively cool.

My buddy gave me come contact in for a guy close to me and I just got to get ahold of him to set up an appointment. I drove the car to the exhaust shop to clean up the y pipe I just put on. It didn't fit as good as I would of liked it. The car has lost alot of power and is not smooth as the rpms increase. Is it just needing a tune or do I have another issue
