Getting a tune never hurts. I need to get one soon cause I gotta get my car inspected. You will notice a big differance with the tune. Now the desision is finding a tuner close to you and one you can trust, and has the experiance.

Yes a tune would help alot. With a aftermarket torque converter the trans tune needs to be adjusted.

Plus extra RWHP never hurt anyone!

And yes our tunes are LIFETIME.

+1 on having a tune with an aftermarket converter. It should make the driveablity better as well as some extra pep on the step, lol



+1 on G FORCES tunes also

You can go back to G-Force if you ever need a re-tune and it wont cost as much as a new tune.

Mail order tuning / off dyno tuning
$175 *this is a great option for people not looking for the entire dyno tune, yet they want all the tweaks associated with our custom tunes.

$400 complete dyno tuning
This is the new pricing for a complete dyno tune!!

Both tuning option feature unlimited retunes free of charge!

If you buy a mail order tune & later want to upgrade to the full dyno tune you only pay the $225 difference!!

Simple Quick Racing in Ft. Worth is who I'd recommend. They retuned mine and I picked up 26 hp and 30 lb/ft with much better drivablility over a local LS1tech sponsor's "tune" on a set up they spec'd.

Honestly, I don't know any shops that don't do a "lifetime" tune.

TSP does not do Free lifetime tunes. GO to G-force if you dont mind the drive, or go over to Dallas. Shoot Im takin my car as soon as I get my Stroker from LME. And Im way out here.

I got a tune from TSP and they would not reune my car after I had done some more stuff to it. And they charged a buddy of mine twice for his after he redid his car. So I am speaking from experiance.
