Default Had her tuned

Just got back from Henderson Performance from my tune this am.

I don't have a Vista compatable printer/scanner yet so I can't post the sheet but here's what it wound up being:

Baseline - 283 rwhp

After magic performed - 312.48 rwhp, 321.81 max torque

The shifts are firmer and there's NO hesitation when the acc is depressed. This is the best $350 I've spent on my car.

Just dropped off my 04 this evening to Corey and Brian. We did an initial pull before all the mods and I got 307 rwhp and almost 330 lb/ft of torque. This with a Blackwing and GHL's. Get the car back next week. Doing ARH LT's, off-road X-pipe, 3.42's and a dyno tune.

Now I have to get my C6 to them.... I'm using a Predator with less than satisfactory results.... and I'm really upset that Diablosport has taken so long and still not released TCM functionality.

Any of you guys ever used Lethal Performance in San Antonio? The owner has a record setting c5 and are said to work magic on LS engines.

I am considering getting my headers and tune done there next week. They installed my Vararam for me and I have no complaints. Tunes are a different story and I want a great shop doing the work.

Any ideas? Where is Henderson performance any ways?

Hendersen Performance is in New Braunsfels.... I haven't had any experience with either shop, but I have heard that Hendersen does great work...

Henderson did my tune. I have had my 2 Corvettes (past and present) to 3 different tuners. Cory was heads above the other 2 guys. I have no experience with the shop in San Antonio though.

He started with 405 RWHP and tweaked until he got this.
