Thanks for the info already have all that in the plans except the Tune I don't know much about cars and I'm still learning what upsets me and with most monte owners is that I'm riding Automatic

Not sure how to go about the tune though I hate wanting to know about cars but not actually knowing much

bro, all I want to say is that I am extremely intrigued by the outcome of that race. It really put a smile on my face to know that Monte Carlo's (of the new generation/s) are underestimated by so many "carbuffs" This really makes me proud to be an MC owner. Good stuff man

Well, I'll let ya know that a tune on your MC will defiantly help out. Not only can you firm up your shifts more, but it can take away any conserved power hidden throughout that stock tune and let you get some more HP.


If your going to do things even as small as bolt on's, I'd recommend getting a tuner so you can fully tweak your MC for the best performance.

DiabloSport inTune: DiabloSport inTune I1000 ships Free Next Day Air


This is the only main tuner that I could find that would help ya. I would say use SCT, but its not compatible with monte's.

To use it, you just need to do some reading. The advice I was told ;

"To use a tuner, read the manual. When you're done, read it again".

I would recommend jumping on a message board with what ever tuner you go with and asking questions. Each brand is different, and there are people who are able to help ya get everything running how it should.

you can get the diablo predator. go onto ls1tech, and look for lew in the ls4 section. he does pretty much all of the ls4 guys tunes over there, and theres never been a complaint. cant tune the trans with the diablo though. if your going to go to an ls1 intake youre definitely going to need a tune. i thought the superchips tuner did work on the monte, and you can tune the trans with it. it may only be 07 and up cause i believe that 06-07 runs a different pcm. not 100% on that though. ive read mixed reviews on it either way. you could also go get it dyno tuned once your done with your bolt ons.

Destroy? Maybe against a lousy driver. I'm pretty sure stock times for a 2v and a stock LS4 are neck and neck, they both run low 14's. As for a 3v, they're usually mid to high 13's in stock form.

^This is all true. My '05 GT (3V) went 13.2 with a cold air intake and tune, otherwise 100% factory stock.

From a dig the LS4 Wbodies are handicapped by their lack of traction. From a roll, they're a good match for 3V Mustangs and do have a decent advantage over 2Vs.
