Should I get a tune?

I have a 2000 Coupe MN6 only mods are the Varram VRB2, ported and polished throttle body, x pipe and ti exhaust. I currently have the Predator Tune in the Vette now. Should I get it done by a tuner? Or am I just wasting my money? What gains if any would I get from a tuner over the Predator?

Thanks, Bill

It might be worth it and it might not. Any car will run better and gain power with a tune. At least thats what my tuner says. I think you would pick up some HP and it may get you better gas milage. It all depends on the tuner too. If you have the extra cash laying around go for it! Good Luck!

I would and sell the predator. For the price of the predator, you can pay for a good dyno tune.

I got a tune with just a catback and intake and did not feel any difference.

The stock tune leaves a lot to be desired but I would hold off untill you get LT's if you do decide to go that rout. If those will be the extent of your mods then go for it.

I say wait for now!

I'd work on getting some more performance parts before you go and get a Dyno Tune!

If you get some headers, Hi-Flow cats along with your X-Pipe and an LS6 manifold then I'd say do it! and enjoy the results!

It will be money well spent then!

Thanks,Matt
