dyno tune question

so what would the benefit of dyno tunning a stock 03 c5z be?

how much more power can be squeezed out?

should i do it after i get a new intake?

how much more gas millage could i get out of it at highway speeds?


and yes i'm still a noob, sorry

I'm sure that you will get replies from both ends of the spectrum but IMHO I would not dyno tune a completely stock C5Z. I had an 03' Z w/VaraRam Intake, Longtubes and Borla off road X-Pipe and stingers. I used one of several very popular hand helds and dowloaded a custom tune for my mods, eliminated the CAGS, and turned the fans on a little sooner for almost half the cost of a dyno tune. From what I asked and read at the time most don't recommend a dyno tune unless you do some pretty significant like a cam or heads/cam combo. And then you need a very reputable shop to do a full tune and not just WOT.
