Jet DST LT4 Vette Headers and Cold Air?

[grandspt]

Hi all I am new to the Forum and I have a newbee question!
So I have an LT4 Vette with 1 3/4" ARH headers/cats, and Cold Air. I just bought a used JET DST and am familiar with tuning terms for the most part. I have already programmed my cooling fans to turn on faster and eliminated my CAGS (JET calls it CARS for whatever reason).
My car runs great no issues but I am wondering if more HP could be gained by tuning the fuel and spark? If there is not much to be gained then I won't bother tuning as the car does run great.
If there are decent gains by tuning then should I tune at an RPM level around 4000 RPM and up? I have a scan tool that will take readings and let me upload to my computer. I am thinking of making a few WOT runs to see what it looks like and then start adjusting but I am new to this so any suggestions would be appreciated

What is CAGS/CARS? I also just started using DST and trying to learn the terms. Thx

CAGS is Computer Aided Gear Selecton (it is when you are driving slow and the computer engages a solenoid inside the manual transmission to force a 1st to 4th shift). JET DST calls this CARS and I have no idea why, I think they misspelled CAGS.
Good luck with your tuning there is certainly not much out there for help on the LT4 engines. I stopped playing after turning off the CAGS, lowering my electric fan turn on temperature and giving a slight timing boost in the upper RPMs.
The car doesn't ping and runs great but it is trial and error and I was extremely conservative with my adjustment (probably no gain at all for horsepower but the engine runs nicely).

CARS = Computer Aided Ratio Selection. Engineering term.
CAGS = Computer Aided Gear Selection. Marketing term.

So DST considers the skip shift a gear ratio selection hence CARS. Makes sense but it would have been easier for me if they called it CAGS. :-) It took me a while to figure out that CARS would disable the skip shift.

So I appreciate the dictionary meaning of the CARS do you have any tuning tips?

Last time I tuned an LT4 was in... umm... 2001 or 2002? Step 1 was to remove Hypertech tuning. After that I worked on reducing delivered fuel at WOT. That helped improve power level but I had a chassis dyno available so I could make changes in increments. The next step would have been looking at the WOT enable parameters to see if they seemed appropriate for the owner's style of driving. I seem to remember that I liked much of the LT4 tune as was and without having time to do some on-street driving I wasn't going to make too many changes.
