Default Hand Held Tuners

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone out there have any experience with hand held tuners?

I have a stock 2016 Z06. I've been looking at the Livernois tuner. I do not know if there are better ones out there.

I do not have a tuner near me that I am familiar with. I realize there is no substitute for a tuner with a dyno, but the cost of the hand held tuner isn't really that bad.

Thanks in Advance!!!

I used one from Diablo on my C5Z.Sure a dyno tune is better,but it depends on your goals & budget.

We offer some great options for GM tuning.

The 16 Z06 will wake up nicely with the provided 91 or 93 octane tunes and you can have custom tuning done via any of our cmr tuning dealers if you wish to dial it in further.

If your Z06 is an A8 there are firm or hard shift tune options for the TCM as well.

Let meknow if you need any other details.


Thanks
