Default Basic performance

I own a 2009 base model 3LT package with a standard LS3 motor. I recently took it to a reputable tuner shop (Tuners, Inc.) near my house in Jacksonville, Fl for a tune and dyno. The base pull was 362 RWHP, probably stock for the car. After the tune she pulled 396 at the wheels. For an easy $200 I highly recommend a performance tune, plus it disposes of that annoying CAGS.

$200 well spent. Of course you know that annoying CAGS can be eliminated for a few bucks.

After the tune, was the car less streetable or did you notice a decrease in mpg?
