Poll!! What should I do first!
1st off I want to thank Ryne at Cunningham motorsports. I took my 99 vert to get dyno tuned. I want to build my Vette slowly piece at a time. here are my current dyno numbers on my mostly stock Vette. Only current mods are: an older version of th BPP intake, WCC x pipe, and Borla quad tip stingers, and 19" and 20" Ruff wheels. Started at 297hp and ended up at 303hp.
Now my question is which of these choices would you get done first?
1) cam only and retune
2)intake & throttle body and retune
3)heads only & retune
4) AR header only and retune.

YA thats it. But according to Ryne. There was a knock going on at the upper end and he got rid of that too!! Ryne also stated that it was not bad for a bone stock car. He also said there are alot of cars he has done that are stock that didn't gain any Hp.

I went from 283 rwhp to 312 rwhp on my car. You might want to check into a new tuner.

Did you have this conversation with Ryne before the tune?
Honestly, I'd be real disappointed in Ryne if he didn't tell you to wait for the tune, knowing you were going to mod it anyway. Unless they're going to re-tune for free you just wasted some bucks.

Yes I did. He stated he will tune the car for free with each install minus the head& cam package as it will take more time. He said he'll only charge me $200 for that !

If you are going to add a power mod, this is the "best bang for your buck". A Procharger fits under the stock hood so you will have the "stelth" you are looking for. Listen to Peter Pan, he know his stuff!!!!!

Sorry not much i can do. I have safe timing and good airfuel on 91 octane, the car came in with knock i fixed it, on top of that picked up some more horsepower, sorry that number disappoints you. I would rather tune on the safe side, not the ragged edge.
