Default Going to a Dyno Tune!

I made the appointment at Cartek in NJ for a full Dyno Tune on my 2001 Z06. Any experiences-pro or con?

I can't believe you performance guru's have no comment! With all the mod's I've done I felt this may improve mid-range and top end SOP? Any thought's on Cartek?

Perhaps the answer is just too obvious? I wouldn't slam the good folks here on that...With all the mods you have, it would of course be in your best interest to do a full dyno w/wideband and make sure everything you've invested in is paying off. Heck, with my minimal mods, I'm going in for my second dyno and first LS1-Edit next Thursday. I'd like to get my A/F ratios as as consistent as possible to maximize horsepower across the entire powerband as possible.

And I know you weren't slamming anyone...sometimes we get so used to instant responses on this forum that we are somewhat disappointed when it takes a day to get a thread rolling.

Good luck!

Absolutely no slamming intended! That's the last thought on my mind. Just as stated we are a bunch of performance oriented members and I was hoping to hear some opinions on the issue of Dyno Tuning at Cartek. I've heard stories of very little gain with Dyno Tuning and I've heard stories of decent gains with same. I agree- with C5 StockSwap- it won't hurt to make sure all paramteres after mods are opitimized.
