Default 2006 Corvette - Speed Density?

I just added the ECS Meth kit and a 102 FAST intake to my 2006 SC C6. While determining how to orient the intake pipe, I have been considering deleting the MAS and going with a Speed Density Tune (separate IAT and 2 bar MAP). The tuner I use in Houston (LMR) is excellent and more than capable of doing this tune.

I have read that with the 2006 C6 you can’t go SD due to the lack of VE tables in the OS. Is this true? Can I run SD?

Thanks

You won't have a problem. I've had SD tunes on older than '06's. Confirm with LMR. I'm guessing they will know

Just have to upgrade to the custom 2.5bar OS with Hptuners. Then you have a VE table.

I have a 06 with speed density tune with a 2 bar map. I think he used EFI live.

You can do it without a custom OS using HPT or EFI Live. The factory OS is 2.5 bar capable.

IMHO: Take your Vette to Stephen @ ETMC in Longview or Mr. Nelson @ NP in SA.
