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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!
