New to tuning z06

I have an 04 and was thinking of getting a tune. My car has always run rich and for whatever reason, seems really rich this season and kind of sluggish (Is it possible the remaining Sta-Bil is doing this?). I was thinking a tune might do me good.

What are the pros and cons of getting a tune?

Well, you will most likely fix your sluggishness but if your "richness" is a bigger problem than you think, you won't be eliminating it, just masking it. If you just want to go for instant gratification I would try a tune and see what it does for your car but if you're not in a tight budget swing your ride by a chevy dealer or really good mechanic and get that air/fuel mix straightened out before you do anything else. Keep us updated.
