08 C6 Tunning software
Are there any other tunning options besides HP Tuners right now for the 08 LS3??? All I want to do to my car right now since it's new is eliminate the skip shift, reduce the torque management, and sharpen up the throttle response. HP Tuners wants $499 for the basic system and $649 for the professional version. To me that's a little steep for the few things that I want to change. Plus I have zero tunning experience and prefer to leave that to a professional once I start modding. I know Diablosport usually has a Preditor for the C6 but the one for the 08 LS3 has not been released yet and doesn't look like it will be any time soon. I've also checked Superchips and SCT but neither has any options for the LS3.

Just noticed this thread. If you decide you want to get into EFILive and do tuning yourself, we have a great package that includes a wideband O2 setup (which you will need to properly tune your car).
We are an authorized EFILive dealer and also support the product.
Basically the deal is $649 shipped for an EFILive V1 with Innovate LC-1 wideband, or $849 shipped for an EFILive V2 with Innovate LC-1. We can also accomodate different wideband preferences (if you want to add a gauge or go with the LM-1 which is easier to install).
Give us a call at 800-364-1975 if you are interested and we'll get you hooked up.
We are also an authorized Innovate Motorsports warehouse/distributor so even if you decided you wanted HPTuners instead we can definitely get you hooked up on the wideband side of things. There are boxes literally stacked to the ceiling here with widebands in them
With regard to whether or not the price is steep, that's a tough call. 99% of our customers tell us how great of a deal the EFILive/wideband combo is because the products pay for themselves if you need to retune your car just twice. I would not necessarily recommend tweaking your own car to those who do not want to learn, tuning for yourself is definitely a learning experience. In the end though, you will have a much greater appreciation and knowledge for how your car works, why it behaves certain ways when cold and hot and when decelerating, etc. And you'll be able to make changes whenever you want instead of waiting and scheduling dyno tune appointments, etc.
