    Default Aero tune any good / summit racing

    Summit racing has some aero stage 1 tune for 250.00 bucks and was wondering if anyone tried it
    Also looking at Livernoise, VMS and 5 star

    The aero is at my local summit so it's nice being just down the street

    Is there other options that aren't outrageously expensive?

    I don't have anything really done yet so it would be the first thing I've done...

    Thanks

    +1 on Rick or pat.
    Imo the over the counter tunes are not worth the money. The Diablo tune thing was proven to give false results and no gain. Change gear ratios to trick you to think you are getting better milage and so on. Snake oil

    Rick and Pat do a wonderful job, but it's nice if you can find a local tuner that's schooled on the LS motors and 6L80E transmissions because in the long run, it's just easier being able to have face time with someone. I've done both and prefer the local guy if you can find one.

    2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!

    save your money,tuning a stock car will not really do much. I agree with Chris find a local guy,but if not Pat or Rick are excellent. Now keep in mind with Pat and Rick you will need HP tuners to log and add the tune to the car. If you are not willing to spend the money for software then find a local guy. I can tell you after my dyno last week,Rick was right on the $.

    This is a very serious issue, I do not understand it very well yet. But thanks to you everything becomes clear.
