Dyno Tune On A 94 Camaro???

I have a 94 camaro and I was wondering if Dyno tune would be a good step for it. I have the hot cam and many bolt ons. I was wondering if anybody knew if Dyno Places usally can find more horspower out of your engine. Does anybody think I should get this done or save my money. I already got the pcm tuned by pcmforless. But I know if I took it to a place its gonna be done right there not threw the mail. I was wondering anybodys they find they will correct them. Also when my car leaves the dyno place. It will be tuned to the Max. performance I can get out of it correct. Everything will be running to the max???

It's definitely worth it, even on my car with just a catback, the dyno tuning found 11rwhp and the midrange torque is now up by 30 pound feet!

I have all the mods that will be dyno tuned.
58 throttle body
Headers with no cat
Slp loudmouth exhuast
1:6 rockers
lt4 hot cam
lt4 knock module
march pulleys
k&n filter pack
granatelli Mass flow sensor
Trick flow elbow
4:10 gears

Do you think by looking at all these mods I can except somewhat of more horsepower. I had my pcm tuned threw the mail by pcmforless. My cam runs good. But I still feel a miss in the 2-3 grand power range. I would like to get it tuned in person that why they can correct the problem. ALSO DID ANYBODY TRY THAT PRODUCT THE TORNADO FUEL SAVER. ANY POWER DID THAT ADD ON THERE DYNO????

The tornado has been a joke for many years now. Don't do it.

You might pick up some power you might not. PCMforless does a pretty damned good mail tune.

Definately Dynotune it. Where are you located, Detroit?

If so try Livernois Motorsports in Dearborn Heights.

- tune

Automotive Performance Eng... I n clinton twp, MI - Thats about a 10 min drive for me. I have it sch. for WED. It's gonna cost me $535.00 Thats why I was wondering if it's worth it. But if they will make my car run to the max and correct the little bugs that could cause engine damage in the future and find more horspower its more then worth that type of money. Hot rod mag, and other big names recommend to tune your car to ensure its running to it's potten.. But I recently had my pcm tuned by pcmforless. I was wondering since its already tuned will it be worth it. But then again my car runs good somedays and bad on others. Will they adjust my roller rockers also or do they charge more for that. How does this tune work anyways. Do they tell you what you need like spark plugs or etc, or do they just put new parts on and charge you extra???

Dyno-tuning consists of dynoing and computer flashing, THAT'S IT. They might give you some suggestions on what to do with your motor, but no labor included.

It's important that you check your motor out good before going. Check plug wires, coolant level, oil level, etc... because nothing's worse than having something go wrong on the dyno after paying
