cheap tune
like the other guys where saying in your other posts. There is no point in getting a tune unless you have smaller pulley and bigger injectors. i think you are getting the impression from the sst/c where you can get greast power gain with just a tune. That is because gm limited the stock tune on the car to make it safe...you can boost it up and still be safe but ....well gm is gm. With a near stock ss/sc you arent going to get anymore then 5-10hp increase with a tune. To tune your car it will cost $200 for the hp tuners licence to licence your car and then whatever the rate is to tune it....most likely $70-$90 an hour....is $400 really worth 10hp? Of course that is just a rough estimate for the price...it would have cost me $1500 for the dyno tune i got when i did the stage 2 upgrade, but i got a deal.

So $210 for the tune and god knows how much in gas+food+tolls+hotel (if need be) = approx $400-500 and the time to go to you...for 15-20hp? not worth it at all. And i wanna see dyno graphs of before and after of this 15-20hp increase just with a tune on a stock ss/tc
I am 4 hours from Montreal... that's the extent of what I know about the distance from me to anywhere in the great white north.
Hey, I'm a reasonable guy with a spare bedroom that my wife keeps clean.... knock the hotel off your cost!
yea sorry, ment to say ss/sc. When i moved/drove from nova scotia (where he is) to edmonton, alberta. It took me 12 hours to get to quebec city, which is a few hours shy of montreal.....of course i was taking breaks now and then because i had 2 cats in the car. But with that 12 hours to montreal which everyone hates driving through and the 4 hours to get to u, i still think its abit pointless. Emailing the tune would be easier. The point im trying to make is not to insult you in anyway but the OP is trying to get hp gain without using alot of money....which is, well i dont want to sat impossible but hard to do. You gotta pay to play..lol. I put $5000 into performance mods only to get approx 100whp increase from stock. And with me new car it cost me $761 for approx 15rwhp. Like i said, its nearly impossible to get hp for cheap. Think the best mod to get with the best $:hp ratio is the intake on the cobalts. With my car its the underdrive pulley, not to sure what it does for the cobalt.
Actually, on a stock SS/TC, just a tune can see increases of 50whp.... and the dyno's are all over the site... but I know what you meant.

LOL I live in an apartment, and sell the Trifecta tune for Vince. No shop here. I install the prepared tune for the customers vehicle, send datalogs back to vince for analysing and optimization if it needs it, and reflash as needed.
Sorry I'm so far away.
