Default basic tuning question

You guys think my mods (SLP LM1s, JLT RAI, 4.10s) warrant a dyno tune? THANKS.

I say yes. The reason being is that I only have a K&N Intake and Borla stingers. I dropped my car off at my tuner to get my longtubes, midpipe and dyno tune. He did a couple pulls before he tuned or installed anything and my car made great power (419rwhp/384rwtq), but my AF was way out of wack which could have resulted in some problems. I would have not even known this if I didn't take it to him to get some stuff installed. I was told the best range for your Air/fuel is around the 11.5 but mine mostly in the 13's.

Not only will you be on the safe side by getting a dyno tune but you will pick up some great power. Factory tunes are not that good lol. I recommend getting a air/fuel gauge installed at the same time you get your dyno tune. I bought a AEM Wideband.


*New/Final numbers coming soon*

My thoughts too but loot's a little tight around these parts right now so I thought I'd just make my next mod a dyno tune. Baby steps.
