I have a '99 SS with a loudmouth. I'm planning on putting a set of pacesetter coated longtubes an offroad y-pipe and a whisper lid on the car. My question is, would I be better served with a dyno tune or with something like the hypertech programer?

With your mods there is no need to spend the money on a tune right now. DON"T buy the hypertech there are much better handheld tuners out there. PREDATOR OR VINCI handheld are the way to go. Otherwise wait for a dyno tune when you have more mods

I am planning a stroker in about two years. For now I am planning on doing all of the bolt ons and then mod the suspension and rearend to handle the new power. At this time I don't plan to put a cam in the stock engine.
