I did my vararam, LS6 manifold, Kooks and GHLs all at once. I felt the differnce, but it wasnt a crazy amount. The tune wasnt touched at this point. I didnt have a before and after tune. I noticed a differance, but I thought I would feel it more. ( Cot about 3K in parts)

After I installed the 1st cam ( baby T224) and tune, I noticed a differance in the car.

The exhaust manifolds on a Z06 are nicely designed though not as productive as long tube headers.
I have already paid in full.

$950.00 to tune a car is outrageous. Hopefully you paid with a credit card or ask for your money back since they haven't done there job yet.

Do you feel the difference ? sotp ? numbers are just numbers.
With 13 AFR your car is safe.

Your car is not a dyno queen?

So how did the re-tune go? Any better numbers? Wondering which tuner you went with out of the four in our area.
