Computer Tuning

I have an 05 Coupe with auto tranny and 3:15 rear end.
I have the following mods:
Kooks Long Tube Headers
Kook High Flow Cats
Corsa Sport Exhaust
Calloway " Honker" Intake
Polished/Ported Throttle Body

I am waiting on my ECM/ TCM tune from Ron at Z Industries.

Will I see a noticable difference once I get the new ECM/TCM installed?

Never heard of that particular tune but I hope you get something out of it. HP tune for my 02 Z06 was 12hp, about average.

Most tuners want to have the car to tune it !
I just cant see tuneing the ecm without the car
And riving it on the street or a dyno

What is the difference between an 05 PCM and a 06 PCM??? I have herd that tuners have software for the 06 but some dont have the ability to tune an 06???

Now, before I get flamed, I know this goes against the grain of the mailorder guys but it's been my expereince.

I suggest you find a competent local tuner and have them do the work.

If you do go mailorder, at least log data, feed it back to the tuner, and get it dialed in.

Just my $.02 worth.
