Default 2010 custom tune question

How much of difference would there be in having a custom chassis dyno tune done on a stock 2010 base model, 6 spd?
Thanks, Titan

I went form 376hp/382tq to 400 for both. Rear wheel.

2008 MN6 LS3. With 800 miles on the odometer.

A Dynapack was used, wheels off measured at the hub.

Even without a power gain, the reduction of torque management, skip shift, speed limiters, etc are worth a tune.

Auto for the shifting alone is worth a tune. 2010s are 6 speeds so do you mean 6 speed manual or auto?

i wonder what dyno shops actually do? do they charge by the hour to tune? or what they do?

looking in HPTuners the speed limiter on my corvette is in the high 200's

Depends on shop.

Most are a set rate depending on setup. Some are by the hour. $400-500 for a tune on dyno is typical. Crazy n2o or FI setup maybe $100 or so more.

Depending on price, even without looking at peak HP gains (10-15rwhp or so) you disable skip shift, adjust fan settings to run cooler and maintain more peak power, adjust IAT tables to not pull timing as easy, reduce or eliminate torque management which reduces power in lower gears, adjust speed limiters, etc. So if that is worth the price of the tune, go for it.

My fear is there are no reputable places near me to trust tuning my car. There are some around but how do I know he has experience doing a vett. I see a lot of pickup trucks around these places and a couple Ford Mustangs, but kind of scared to turn either my 2 cars over to people around here.
