Default Dyno tune

I have been thinking about having my 2015 Z51 Dyno tuned. I already have a cold air induction installed (AFO), but not to keen on headers. How much increase can I expect in horse power and how much increase in fuel economy can I expect?

Why are you not keen on headers. I have a set on mine and LOVE them...since you're going to tune it, might as well throw the warranty out the window so why hold off on headers?

At any rate, I have read where guys have been able to squeeze 15 to 20 HP out of it just by tuning it so I suspect that you might realize 30 HP or so with tune and cold air intake. Stock intake is supposed to be pretty good to begin with.
