If your car is basically STOCK with only bolt on mods your best bet would be a mail order tune----There are several great ones here on the forum---Normally about $150 and well worth the price and you will see the change---Now if you go further and do mods liek heads--cam or LT headers you would need a full tune with someone that has access to your car

What is a mail order tune? My C5 is stock, except for the cold air induction.

There are several mail order tuners here on the forum---
You send them your ECM and list all your mods--type of driving and projected use and they tune it accordingly----On a basically stock car with even simple bolt-ons this is your best bet-----It is far superior than any handheld tuning device like Hyper---h Super --cps etc and 1/2 the cost-----As a handheld tuner is just too generic--where a mail order tune is vehicle specific for your car
Many people claim excellent results with Chuck Cow---here on the forum----

Yeah, I have had a few conversations with Chuck Cow. Getting an idea of what his product offers. Sounds good so far.

Call Cordes Performance Racing and have them set you up with NicD. He's the best tuner in the country hands down and you are in his back yard.

Also Saturday the 18th is Corvettes and Caddies. Bring out your Z.

My kit is not the cheapest..... But it's the best.

There was a time long ago (before the Efi Live Autocal existed) that we had people mail in their LS1 PCMs....

It's a "one shot - here ya go - hope it runs good - please don't expect it to be perfect" kinda thing.

YES, that's how it was long ago.... and we really no longer offer it.

Wether you paid 8 grand, or 28, 38, or 50 grand for your C5 or C6..... It's not worth mailing in your pcm

for a quickie mail order tune in my opinion. YES, some people still offer it.... But we don't.

People always raved about our "old school" mail order tunes.... BUT, now we use the AutoCal

remote tuner.

There is simply NO POSSIBLE WAY to get a first rate tune by mailing in your pcm. EVERY vehicle is

different enough that it can never be perfect.

With our AutoCal package..... It won't ben under $200. for a tune..... But it will be PERFECT.

Remember what you paid for your car.... and weigh your options.

Chuck gave me the best tune that I experienced. Car runs smooth and has lots of power. He is very knowledgeable and listens to your needs.
