Pic of dyno sheet coming shortly, was told that its making 7psi, 15degs at max hp. Tuned used speed density told to maybe upgrade to LS7 maf or get a stand alone iat if I wanted to get rid of stock maf. Driving around town in 203deg coolant temp. Was told this is to be expected since there's a chunk of aluminum partially vlocking the radiator.
Was told that next step would be a cam, hp wise. Drivetrain improvements as higher tq stall, maybe taller gears. 1 7/8 headers.

if you hear a tuner say "safe tune" on a basic setup, that generally means it didnt make the hp we were hoping. something definately up with the setup and/or tune

542rwhp on 7psi is not bad at all for a bone stock Ls2. Especially thru an auto. (Assuming stock exhaust manifolds and exhaust).
Headers/X-pipe and another couple psi would break 600rwhp with the stock cam still in it. That is the perfect combo for driveability/power.

I would say he gave you what you asked for, safe...
I asked for the same on my first tune, Ls7 and it made 580 on a mustang dyno with 4lbs
after adding meth and some boost we are at 665 on 7 lbs., let off at 6,300Rpm.
You should be able time find more in there when you are ready.

It seems that different tuners have different meanings of safe tunes. From what I have seen at East Coast Supercharging most of their LS2 with meth are 650+ on safe tune. RPM in garner NC had a c6 LS2 put down 821rwhp on a ECS kit, meth,..etc on stock bottom end

That's why people say to pick and choose a tuner wisely....
