tuning for LTs
tuning for LTs I just had LTs installed. Should I wait till I get a cam sometime next year before I tune or get it tuned now? Is it really even worth the money to get it tuned now? Will I see a big hp increase or just a few hp?
It depends on what kinda tune you are talking about...a good tune could net you a few HP on an F-body, but if the ultimate in performance out of what you have isn't in your budget, I'd say wait until you did the cam.
And was the 14-16 RWHP above the initial header gain, or was that total gain from the LG headers? Not a great comparison anyways, since the LG headers are a few steps above what we can get on these cars.

I gave him the option of a completely safe tune, or a max power tune...he opted for the latter...
The tune is still pretty safe though because the AFR is 12.5. I had to use this AFR in order to squeeze in a few more degrees advance. Final timing was between 27-29*
