Default Free up HP on relatively stock setup?

I've got a 94 Z28, and tunercat. Going to the track this weekend and I was wondering if there are any things I can do to free up some power on my stock LT1 with hooker catback + cutout? All I've done so far is 0 out the knock tables to stop retarding the timing when I get false knock... I know tuning is an intricate process, and I'll learn with time and research, don't think I'm simply asking you guys to do the work for me... Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Not familiar with tunercat or tuning lt1's, but I can offer you some advice. I would not 0 out the tables man... just desensitize them a little, if you were to get real knock you are going to wish you didnt 0 out the table.

It's an exhaust leak, headers are coming in this weekend so that'll be taken care of. Thanks for the concern though
