,,,i know this is not on topic but a friend veered me to a site for the SS spoiler for 06-07 models, is this trustworthy? i followed other topics and everyone warned against similar models,,just asking cause i would love to ditch my nerfboard

honestly you'll be lucky to get 5 whp with a tune, now with mods before that I could see maybe 8-10 extra

I have read with Lew's tunes there has been gains of 30+ hp (on an LS4). he must do a really good job with his custom tunes.

im not looking for Hp,,i gave up long time ago, i go for torque now mostly,with the shift points and air/fuel im no longer trying to beat everyone i see like before,,im going for that perfect long drive on a lovely day,alone in the car feeling..knowing myself i opted for a shoptune cause if not i`d go crazy mashing my buttons, power one day next day economy ,,,with this being a china engine im keeping it as the main car and saving for an el comino instead with a 454
Duderino,,goodnight fellow monte`s

Default Diablo Predator

I just sold my Monte. Just wasn't practical for my commute anymore. Anyways I have a predator tuner that I bought from Lew last year that I need to sell $200. The tune was removed from my car and is ready to be used on another LS4. Let me know if interested.
