Well, guys, I just finished getting my custom tune at DTP. At the moment I don't know how to feel. I feel a bit disappointed, not with the guys at DTP, but with the car. I lost HPs but gained some torque. The exact numbers after the tune are 306RWHP amd 360RWT. I really didn't expect to go much higher than the last time I had it dynoed, the numbers were 315.2RWHP and 352 RWT. Instead, the numbers doen't look all that great to me.

Oh well, I've already talked to Frank about getting a mild cam for it. Guess now all I have to do is save for it. :)

Anyway, here is the new dyno sheet:

I would talk to Ed @ the HP Factory and see if he has any ideas!
I have never seen power go down after a tune???????:confused:

At the moment I'm still on the fence. Everytime I see those numbers just makes me feel more disappointed.

We'll be gearing up for the mopars next month. I have a great rep with the LS crowd. My background is in Automotive electronic controls. 15 plus years as an ASE cert advanced level master tech. I thoroughly understand control systems.
I am not a hobbyist who thought it would be cool to open a shop. Its been my lifes work.
FWIW, I'm traveling to Europe for the third time in one year, to tune Corvettes.

Dont know that I'll be doing any significant amount at one time. I'll be lookin for confirmation from several owners so we can get a ROI of the software as quickly as possible.
You're welcome to stop by any time.

Thanks for the props Joe.
BTW, we also do brand new cars for Colonial Chevy. I think it says alot when a a new car dealer recommends you to their own customers. We just finished an 07 Vette they sent us. We've done multiple Vettes and some Cobalt SSs for them.
