Re: Is ecm tuning worth it?

I haven't tuned my 5.3 yet but plan to eventually.
A buddy of mine had his 2000 ls1 camaro tuned by a local performance shop. He put some bolt ons onto the car first (headers, exhaust, ls6 manifold, etc.). He gained over 40HP after the tune. Previously 300hp and finished with 350hp (uncorrected for elevation) from the dyno tune. He also previously ran a 14.6 in the quarter mile and bumped that down to 13.7 (utah elevation 4200 ft.). cost him around $320 and discounts off future tunes.
Definitely sounds worth it to me.
