LS1 Edit, worth it with my mods?

Hi all. I have read several posts about the amazing gains that can be had with LS1 edit. The only mods I have are Borla exhaust, and a Halltech Stinger intake. Thoughts?

Thanks
Brent

Headers are definatly on the way some time, as well as a new intake manifold. I guess I should probably wait if I am going to do these mods anytime soon.

It would help either way but I would wait until you do the headers.

Personally I would wait until you have more mods ( cam or headers for example ).

I have seen 20+ hp gains on a bone stock LS1 with just a tune, but you really have to know what you're doing. You will see better gains after LTs, and would probably have to re-tune anyway.
