LSJ Tune?

I'm looking to get the stock ECU tweaked a little bit and its going to cost about 200 bucks to do it.. is it really worth it, they said i could gain up to 50hp but i'm a little hesitant to think that, plus if it did could the stock engine take it?

200$ is a little steep but it is definitally worth it i had my car tuned with just an intake and exhaust still stock pully and i was able to run with stg2 cobalts
you wont get 50 hp probably more like 15hp/10tq at the wheels but the increased redline is huge
its definitally a worth while mod

thats sounds reasonable the guy around my area wants 300$ i think thats too much especially if i get tuned 3 times in a yr or so. I plan on getting stuff done little by little. i figured 200$ first time 50 bucks after but thats just my opinion

lol 200 is not bad. I have seen 300-500 depending on the tune.

You wont get 50hp. 10-15 is more realistic. If you are stock all they will probably do is tune the trims, maybe some timing, take off some tq management, and change you wot fueling. Pretty simple stuff.
