Default C7 Tuning - Suggestions?

Hey guys,

First post (or maybe second, can't remember). Had my C7 for a couple months, just threw on some Texas Speed headers (1 7/8) with offroad x pipe, otherwise the car is stock. What tunes do you guys use? I have read into using HP Tuners but haven't read enough to understand fully. Would also like some extra fuel on decel for pops and bangs. Smiles per gallon is all that matters.

Thanks!

Used Diablo Lew. Very happy. He will retune for a year for no additional cost if you add more bolt ons.

Thanks. I think I'll email him. His site states that he doesn't do tunes that are emissions related -- I'm obviously throwing and O2 sensor code right now since I did do a cat delete. I'd want a tune that includes coding that out. How much more power are you making & with what mods? Thanks for your reply.

Soler TB, AFE, CAI, AWE Xpipe cat delete. Don’t have a hp number but if I put it back to stock the car drives like a slug. Very happy for $150. The tuner enables CAGS delete, DOD delete, idle speed increase. If you want you also can change speedometer settings, rev limiter, plus other computer settings I don’t mess with.

Appreciate the offer. I have a local appointment with Houston House of Power. I've never had a local dyno before, I've always done remote tunes. Would be nice to develop a personal relationship with who's tuning my car.
