LT1 or LT4?

A tune will gain a little bit of power but not a lot. Most of the gains will be in the torque area where you can add some timing. Then you will get a little bit up top by correcting the fueling. The LT4 will see more gains than the LT1.

We offer some great tuning products that allow for plug and play tuning and will work great with your existing mods.

What should I expect to gain with an LT1 that is stock? I would think low to mid range is more important than WOT?

Heres a copy of the dyno chart from a 2015 LT1 we tested here with our 93 octane Diablo tune.

I like how the Diablo tune puts the HP and torque at lower Rpms so you can use it

You will definitely get more low to midrange than peak HP as demonstrated above.

Do you have plans to modify the vehicle any further or are you happy with an Xpipe and tuning solution? There are a couple other easy items to add to an LT1 that really wake it up.
