Worth tuning a stock grand sport?

That sounds good, but it would be good to see what the tune does by itself. Do you know what kind of mods he has and is he A6 or M6? I just bought a new A6 GS and since I don't live in the US, I'm looking for a tuning solution where I can keep updating the tune each time I add headers, cam etc and can store tunes and make adjustments without having to lug around a laptop.
For now I'm going to put a Halltech MF103 CAI on it and after a while add headers etc. I can only imagine that with a good tranny tune alone, an A6 vette should drop at least 2-3 tenths in the 1/4. I know it made a big difference on my '08 Sierra Denali.

Am I right that the Trinity can store anybody's email tune? So, for example, if I buy a blower in the future, I can get an email tune and load it in the trinity and then into my car, correct?

Yes that is correct. You can contact any of our CMR dealers for a custom tune which loads onto the Trinity.

I hold the "Grand Sport" (Bolt-Ons) record (Post#5572) at the moment; with CAI (Home Made "OEM"), Headers and a "canned" 93 DiabloSport Tune on stock runflats, just those three items= 11.52 @121.89 MPH.
Check it out, the LS3 "Grand Sport" guy in second place (Post#4577) has all the same stuff but more expensive and I "believe" a professional dyno tune.
PS: Second place is over 4 tenths and 3 mph slower and I weigh 260 lbs to boot. That's my car to the left after a good workout
Edit: I have been working out (beating up) on some "modified" (factory 580 HP) ZL1's and Supercharged Cadillacs at the track lately.

SOLD! This Grand Sport Man dude must be good at launching to run those times on stock runflats.
So, can I order one of these from you guys direct (off your website?) or should I get one from ECS or one of your other dealers? I like the Trinity as it has some neat features, like the virtual dragstrip option.
BTW: I live overseas, so I would need it shipped to me via FedEx or UPS. Please send me a PM on what I should do. Thx.

Thanks. I have to say that I'm impressed by the support that you guys give on your products. I will order one of these ASAP. Thanks again. Once I get the car (I'm still waiting for it to be shipped to me) I will break it in and do a comparison between the stock and 93 octane tune and report back on here with the results. I'm assuming that it would be best to run a 160 degree thermostat with that tune, just to be safe?
