I just installed some PTE 55K cams in my stock SLK55. With no re-tune (cams only), an after dyno confirmed a 5whp and 10wtq gain. These cams do require a re-tune and gains will be higher and even higher with additional mods like headers and intake.

I have been spoiled with LS1 cam swaps I guess. Was expecting more.

Any big change under the curve? Post tune with the cams what was the total diff?

Thanks.

Of course you were, Chevy is where it's at!

Sorry bro, but I'm doing multiple mods at once and don't want to spend $1.5K on a re-tune in between each mod. I'm doing a dyno run at the cost of $200 in between each mod to see the difference and will re-tune at the end. True, I'm not showing the maximum gain from a re-tune on each mod, but I am saving $4.5K!

My bad, I thought you already had it tuned.

200 to dyno? Wow, not a fan of those Cali prices. In Chicago, specials usually run 50-60 for 3 pulls with A/F. Most other shops regular cost are around 100 for 3 pulls. Good luck on the build.



Black, I think I'd rather put the 1800 towards your supercharger.
