Default Dyno tune

I have a new C7 with 1500mi on the clock at this time. Is there any advantage to doing a Dyno tune on this car and If so what mileage would you suggest I wait to? I did one on my C6 but it had CAI and NNP and I did see difference. The C7 also has NNP but stock air intake. Thought's

I wouldn't unless you plan to mod the engine, the risk far outweigh the benefits, i.e loss of warranty, min horse power gain.


If your going to add header, supercharger or cam well worth it and necessary.

a waste money unless you do a few mods with the car. You could be asking for trouble if you get a bad tuner with these c7 unlike the c5 & c6 motor set up.

Now if you do LT headers, mid pipe, cold air box, cat back exhaust. Then yes on the tuner. If you do a cam and head work it would have to be done anyway.
