Tuner's notes
What to know about tuning the Cadillac CTS-V Gen 2 / Camaro ZL1 Gen 5
Stock figures are for the CTS-V; the 2012-2015 ZL1 is rated at 580 hp / 754 Nm. The LSA's boost is set by its pulley rather than an electronic bypass, so a tune alone is worth only modest gains, and a smaller pulley soon runs into the limits of the stock injectors.
