What should I do next? HP Tuners Tune or GMPP Touring Exhaust? My current mods are listed in my sig. Which one would give the most HP?

HpTuners...then use that to help tune the car for whatever else you get in the future...overall best investment for the car IMO

If this is your last mod then get tuned. If you plan on doing a couple things to it then get the exhaust first and then the tune. You should tune when you are done moding the motor. :twothumbs

hptuners, but only if your ready to spend a whole lotta time in you car this summer tuning, exhaust will help your set up alot too though and way less time consuming

So HP tuners tune to the mods that are on my car at that moment?

I was just going to take my car to a shop and have them tune it with HP tuners. They want $600 for the software, tune and dyno. It's the only place nearby.

What Kind of gains would I see with the hp tune?

If you know someone around you with HPTuners you can get retuned after every couple mods if you want. I waited until I was done with the motor to tune for everything all at once in one shot. It will save you cash.

So it comes down to where you want to stop. When you feel you are done with your bolt-ons, then it's time to tune. :twothumbs

maybe 10 hp who knows it depends on how aggressive you want your tune to be ;)

Sounds good. I didn't know for sure how long I can run the 2.9 without a hp tune. Didn't want to put too much stress on the motor over a long period of time.

Dude... Area47 is just running S2, with an intake! And made 266 hp/ 231 tq because he tuned his car with HPTuners! Get the tune man, it will be worth it! He only wants like $100 bucks or something like that!

get the tune, it'll be worth it in the long run. plus, you'll have the hp tuners to retune after each mod.

Will GM be able to tell that I had it retuned if I have to take it in and have it repaired? Of course I'd have to swap the stage 2 pulley back.

Exhaust It is!!! Thanks guys for the help!!:twothumbs
