You picked it up? How heavy was it?

Tell us the story of what you added to pick it up, or was it just a happy dyno that gave you more with no mods at all.

Its sae, listed as flywheel HP/TQ on the sides
They told me the stock tune was running lean and the computer was pulling timing and that it dynod on the low end compared to the other ls1s that they have tuned, when they made the stock pull.

Waste of money? My seat of the pants feel says that first gear pulls harder and smoother, at least its more noticable in first. Or maybe I'm just telling myself that to justify the money I spent xD

Very nice - so are you saying the shop did some fine tuning and you picked up 30 HP over another similar Vehicle due to the tuning on the Dyno?

Either way it is decent!

Thanks,Matt

the stock pull and the tuned pull are both on the chart.

They told me with the factory tune the engine was weak compared to some of the other LS1 pulls that they have done. They are really an import shop but recently they have been craming LS series motors in a lot of different cars. I was a bit hesitant at first but all seems well, time will tell.

For just a tweak on the tune, that is a nice gain.
