Thinking about a buying a different ride and was wondering if anyone had a good tune for the Ls6. Mileage and power. Thanks James
LS6 tuning

The factory LS6 tuning is pretty good in the Corvette. You aren't going to improve it much. Zero out the IAT Retard table, bump up to 24 deg timing at WOT with race gas, and lean it out about 2% and perhaps you'll see 20HP on a dyno.
You arent gonna get any better milage in a C6 than you are in your Dmax
your joking right? just asking, not trying to be a smartazz
Check out our gasser tune library at www.holdencrazy.com You will find a number of stock LS6 and a couple of modified LS6 tune files available for download which should make a good starting point for you.

Ok looking it up GM claims 18/26. I dunno about you but if I was driving a C6 I dont think I could get 26 mpg. I can get 20 in my dmax on the highway and around 16 in town... I dont think a C6 is going to be that much better... maybe 1 or 2 mpg city/highway.
they will get 30+mpg highway cruising at the same speed that the duramax gets 20 mpg. 1 6 if you drive hard everywhere in town, 17-19 if you drive normally. it really is pretty amazing what these cars will get for mileage with their power. in a c5 you are looking at over 20mpg city (driving easy) and just under 35mpg highway just cruising.

So the factory under rated the mpg figures 6+MPG? I doubt that.
Open loop vs Closed loop. Decent power, aerodynamic, light weight. All this adds up to fuel mileage.
The Feds cracked down on the estimates that the manufacturers used to use. My Yaris (yeah its little but it saves money) is rated at 36mpg freeway, right now I'm averaging over 41 with it.
