2008 LS3 vette getting tuned!
So after doing some looking around thinking I wanted a CAI for my vette it seems its kinda on the fence of really not being worth it so I said screw it and called my guy at CPU and scheduled a dyno tune for this Saturday! He says he sees an average of 16-30whp pick up on the stock LS3 cars so we will see.
All the car has done to it now is a SLP exhaust, hell I haven't had a chance to check the air filter to see if the stock set up, but I'm reading just swapping to the stock C6 Z06 manifolds and X pipe will net me a decent gain and they can be had for cheap. So now it's between that or the "vette" taxed long tubes soon.Last edited by bsgreenz; 05-22-2013 at 08:54 AM.

I think my LS2 car picked up like 10 or 13rwhp after a tune, I had headers, cold air and a Borla Cat Back on it already. Picked up right at 40rwhp or so with a 228R cam. The LS3 cars have a lot better heads and intakes then the LS2 cars do so you'll make what I did with bolts and a tune probably dead stock.

We will find out tomorrow at 12:30! I will doing a stock pull and then let him tune her so I can get a nice back to back and will be picking up a "stock" mod from my buddy and hope to have it installed soon and back on the dyno to see if the rumors are true. Either way if its not I'm only out $200 and some dyno time.

Thanks, I've never had good dyno trips with my 94 so I'm hoping this one goes smoot.
1st trip- shop left the e brake on and over heated the car blowing a head gasket.
2nd trip- starter blew apart trying to start up after the first re-tune and that was if for the day2008 Corvette-full exhaust, tune and soon a custom cam
