    from 255kw - 300kw
    i assume your car is VX HSV ( 255 ls1 )
    because your engine is the same that is fitted in the VX SS etc you wont gain anymore then an SS etc.
    but you should make between 220rwkw-240rwkw
    and expect to pay around $1200 for a good tune.

    considering your gaining 45kw i would definetly pay $1200 for that.

    Thanks Mr Helpful, so you think about 30 to 50 rwkw's, and better idle i would think, as well as smoother power delivery and a nicer car to drive. if i was thinking about exhaust mods would the ls1 edit be a waste of money if exhaust mods not done first? ie need edit again after exhaust mods. I would think better to do exhaust and any other mods, ie throttle body, air box, MSD coils then get tune. 300 rwkw's??

    you would need a retune after the exhaust was fitted.

    lol 300rwkw with those mods...no way.
