Default Custom Tune

So I bought my 2014 z51 car recently I was told it had a custom tune on it from a shop. I contacted the shop they remember the car but don't have records of what was done they said. So would it be advisable to try and find a shop in the area to check the tune?

It has the following done to it.
MSD Spark plug wires
Borla X-Pipe 60547
Weapon-X Ported intake
Ported Throttle Body

If feels like it has more responsiveness and power than a stock C7 I have drove, but don't really know what HP this has or what type of tune was done.

Throttle body and x pipe = 0 hp
ported intake = 10
Tune = 15 to 20 HP

Most if the gain you are feeling comes from the tuner adjust ing parameters such as torque management , gas pedal response etc etc

Dave thanks. I figured that was about right. I was guessing maybe 25hp max gain on the addons. I do feel its much more responsive on the gas. Maybe to much so at times. LOL
