Default Got Headers>>>Never got Dyno Tuned(Bad or Ok)

hey guys don't worry i plan on getting the custom dyno tune soon. But was just wondering am i even getting the full potential of my headers which i got installed 6mths ago. I have a c6 Z51 corvette. 1 3/4'' ARH headers long tube with X pipe and flowmaster super 10 series mufflers. As well as an Airraid Cold air intake.

The Dyno tune will get your air fuel ratio back to where it belongs and probably net you another 25 HP or so depending on a lot of other things. I'd take it in ASAP. And no, your not getting the full potential. Good luck

You aren't getting the FULL potential, but you aren't missing 25hp. You do not need a tune, but it will smooth everything out and unlock the potential of the setup.

The ECM is designed to run the engine efficiently under all environmental conditions. High altitudes, cold and hot outside temps, and such. It will compensate after a few engine start cycles, and the engine should run fine.
Saying all that, you could probably pick up a few HP with a dyno tune, but would the cost be worth it would be a decision you'd have to make. Over the additional power the headers made, I'd expect, maybe, 5 more with a tune.
