Default Do you think programming will help me???

Well my car when it was a 6-speed made 360rwhp and 350rwtq with a cam on stock heads with a lid and headers....I know if I did some free mods I could of gotten the HP....but supposdly the custom programming gives you more and makes the car run a lot better....it will be tuned with LS1 Edit if I get it...

I am converting over to the TH400 with a 4500 stall, the stall is non locking and I want the car to make the most HP possible....I know I could live with out programming, but the car surges now pretty bad when its semi warm...I can only imagine how bad it would be with a 4500 stall trying to back up in reverse and not being able to rev the car to keep it alive...

If I decide to get programming it will be $500 bucks and it will be combined with dyno tuning...I would most likely set the limiter at 6800 and shift at 6400 for WOT apps....I got the MAFT so I could switch the AFR as I do more mods....

So people do you think its worth it for what I am doing??

I want to put down somewhere around 370rwhp and 390rwtq and thats through the TH400 with the non locking stall, through a 9" with a 3.73 too...

What do you think?

Thanks... <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
