plenty of discussion on this. At that price, though, go for it. Be sure you check out the swap policy, and how much deposit you need to pay ontop of the tune cost. Will probably end up costing you around $400.

If you haven't modified your car much at all and don't want to for some time then the mailorder would be a good start. You will definitely notice a difference.

If you have modified a bit, or will be again in the near future, then save the money and get a proper dyno tune.

I got a mail order mafless tune from steve at oztrack. I have just basic mods (cat back, mcai, K&N, and gts maf pipe) and my car made 214kw at the wheels.

Car runs perfect, car uses less fuel, and goes much better. I highly recommend you buy one from oztrack, they are a reputable quality tuner.

I got one off ebay from apc_performance (one of the guys currently selling for $99, cost me $150) I have been really happy with it! For the money I paid there was a huge increase in power. My car is an auto and the gear ratios have been relaxed when in normal mode (revving lower at cruising speed using less fuel) and then with pwr mode it shifts a lot quicker and firmer getting quite taily shifting into second. I haven't had it dyno'd to test the rwkw but I can easily beat my mates VX Clubsport R8 from a standing or rolling start! The only other mod's I have done is fit an alloy OTR intake and cat back exhaust! When talking $$ vs KW it is hard to go past!

If you can live without your PCM for a week, they won't get you to pay a deposit, but if you want one of their's sent to you so you can do a straight swap you will have to pay a refundable deposit (about $300 or so) which gets refunded when you return it.

Hope this helps.

As far as I know, all my car has is the ebay mailorder mafless tune and a dodgey CAI I knocked up, and last dyno had 304rwhp. It does have a standard 2.5" exhaust though, don't know if that's standard to all LS1s or just the Monaro's

Hey guys,

These look very interesting, it seems that they are only selling them for 5.7 LS1.

Has anybody or does anybody know of anyone getting one of these for a gen4 6.0ltr??

Thanks.
