I did those exact same mods but in the order of CAI (Halltech), Corsa cat-back, tune. The cai and corsa netted no gains at the track. The tune, bettered my 1/8th mile by .2 and 4 mph in the 1/8th alone. Worth it IMO.

Picked up 22 RWHP @ WWW.MTIRACING.COM in Marietta, Ga. I've invested in excess of $14K in performance and drivetrain mods, but the tuning gave me more RWHP/$ than any other mod.

I think a tune will get you more then that. Tuning is the heart of performance. But then again, if you do engine mods you will need to tune again.

nice.. I would expect the corvette is the same as with other cars. You dont get gains out of a catback on the stock map.. however dyno tune the car and suddenly the catback makes some power.

Man do your homework! A tuner can create magic but they also can cause nightmares
This decision is more important than any mods you will ever do. Choose right and you will be happy but choose wrong and they can ruin your car!!!
Talk with many customers, find out how long they have been tuning Corvettes, and make sure you get it in writing!

I wonder if a tune has already been done on this car? Had the car a week, with 4500miles, so far it just pulls super hard!
I cant give it 100% WOT from a dead stop in traffic without fear of going sideways into other cars, it just snaps you back with a tiny touch of the gas. Dont seem like i have TM on the car at all, it just eats the tires!
