Anyone try tuning your own C5? Are there any classes or books on how to do so? I'm not looking to do it on others cars, just enough knowledge to have fun with my own car.

Thanks for the help.

I tuned my own car but had an experienced tuner sitting next to me the entire time. I can tell you....don't do it without experience!! The cost is too great.

I agree!!!!!A good tune is worth it and you notice a difference right away.................got my C5 done for around $250.00 !!!!

The author is an OEM level Calibration Engineer. He definitely knows his stuff... :D

These links are very useful, thanks a lot :). I want to tune my C5 of course with help from a experienced mechanic but this is some good stuff to learn.
