How can I tell if my VY PCM has the standard tune or the 300kw tune?

Put on on a roller dyno and see

Or run the calcs for your time at the 1/4 mile, at a very rough off the cuff guess you should be in the 11's with a MPH around 115 mph trap

Have MAF and mods, don't care about power, just want some information on how to identify what tune I have, whether it be MAF or MAFLESS, 300KW or 245KW or 235KW etc etc

Looks like I will be off to the dyno, maybe after I change the final drive...

If you’re wanting a tune then get a good custom dyno tune for your vehicle and mods rather than muck around with a factory tune for another model

back in the day, when they did the GTS tune they would usually go to a mafless tune so if you still have a maf id be leaning toward standard tune.

If your car has been tuned for the modifications installed, it won't be a factory file, it'd be a custom tune.

As Ginger Beer said, chuck it on the dyno and see what it runs.
