did you do something different like turn on your AC??? that will make the car surge...

could be..or could be a piss poor tune. as a good tuner should be able to take care of surging in just about every cam.

I have a 6.0L motor, 317 heads with a good valve job, torquer v2 cam, port TB, Kooks and all bolt-ons......I was hoping for 400 RWHP when my car gets dynoed next month. I a Performabuilt A4 with a 3600 stall.

You guys do realize a stall will hurt hp significantly.

Took my car to another local tuner who specializes in mustangs. He didn't tune but did make a pull on the dyno. 403/376 ??????????????? I asked him bout tuning my car but he wants me to buy a programmer. What the hell??? $400 programmer, $100 per hour to tune? Why does he want me to buy a programmer?

My brother had an 07 GT vert, then an 08 Shelby and now an 07 GT he tuned everyone of them; both shops he used had him buy a hand held tuner.

this is just off the top of my head there may be more

The 5.3 DOD Ls4's have 243's?? I've worked on a few impala ss's and GXP's but never paid any attention to the casting numbers.

Learn something new everyday.

They probably don't have a tuning program for a GM vehicle, so they want you to buy a programmer that way they can kinda tune the car. Find a shop that does GM tuning - they should have a program like HPTuners or EFILive.

PS: Don't buy the handheld either. It's a waste of money.

the 241s were for 01 models so some of the later 00s had them.

`97-98 = 806 (perimeter bolt covers)
`99-00 = 853
`01-04 = 241

No real significant difference in airflow between any of them.
