Default Bolt On Dyno Numbers

So the car has a Vararam Intake, AR Headers 1 3/4, Z06 Ti Exhaust and it put down

348.33 Hp
364.15 Tq

That was SAE corrected as well.....Very impressed!

Great numbers but HORRIBLE advice. Everyones car is different and they all need tunes after mods like headers. I dont understand how you can say having a perfect running car and picking up 7rhp and 8wtq for$400 isnt worth it

see how the tune helps you at the track too before you get disappointed about spending the $$. dyno numbers dont tell the whole story of how a tune helps.

yeah, I would not knock a tune after those kinds of mods until you tried a few different tunes. I find that there is alot to be gained from tuning. But dont just look at peak numbers either, this can be misleading. If you only gained 8 hp, then the most important thing is how the rest of the car drives.

Synergy offers a money back deal where if you had your tune done somewhere else, come by, pay for a tune, and if you dont like it, you get your old tune and your money back. Simple.

Actually I do agree with you guys. That later part of my post was to satisfy a friends opinion. He didn't think it was worth it at all. I actually feel the car is more responsive is you ask me, and much smoother. The only think I forgot to do it have him flash the TB actuater to see if I can get rid of, or speed up that delay. It drives me nuts!

BTW Newtech Performance did my tune. Nick is an awesome guy, explained everything perfectly!
