Jonmalibuss Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Well after a long time waiting we are about to release our LBZ 6 gun tuner and my dad is one of the two beta testers, the tuner just got installed on his truck today and we are seeing an added 110hp on level 6 with the egt's maxing out around 1175* which is very safe. We are seeing right around 440hp or so at the rear wheels with like 850 ft lbs of torque. My dad asked me today if he will beable to leave from a stop and just burn the tires! I said we'll see! The guy writing the tunes told me he got the ok to do a level 7 which isn't california legal for polution reasons because it'll block out the sun but make tons more power so I am gonna see if he has that ready soon and get him to load that into my dads truck!

CoolBlueSS Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Block out the sun, huh? Would that be with diesel smoke or tire smoke? Very cool, btw. It amazes me to leaps that have been made in diesel technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTOGUY Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 (edited) The LBZ is an awesome motor stock, but with a CAI, Exhaust and Tuner it is just sick!! I have a Hypertech Hyperpac on mine, along with a 4" Magnaflow and AirAid CAI. The Hyperpac is set on Stage 3 which is 85hp and 180 TQ on top of the 360/650 and Intake/Exhaust!!! I was one of the Beta testers for Hypertec, and never had a single problem with the unit. I have a CC/LB with a Fiberglass Cap and loaded with tools and parts it it super quick. Coolest thing, is on a recent trip I got 26 MPG on the highway with the cruise set at 70!!!!!

We keep our stuff a bit more conservitive to keep the EGT's down and to keep the stock trans alive, we look for as much reliable power as we can get without hurting anything.

Jonmalibuss Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 wow level 7 !! i need a ride!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah we have always had the 6 gun with obviously 6 levels of power but in states without harsh emissions before we did the PDA we had what we called the speed loader and it added an aditional level of power and it pluged in under the dash. Well with the PDA there is no need for the speed loader box because it's all controlled by the PDA but we still call it the speed loader. So the screen reads levels 1-6 and then SL which is just a level 7. The LBZ seems to have a bit more turbo lag than I remember the LLY having, but on SL once boost kicks in it's making about 30lbs and the tires begin to break loose. I also supprised my dad by having them install our catback exhaust system and I will be getting him our intake as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonmalibuss Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Well Chase got a ride today and i'm sure he can comment on how much power it picked up over the stock tune (level 1) I made some adjustments in the PDA which increases the "throttle pump", pretty much just adding more fuel off the line which really helped eliminate a lot of turbo lag. My dad also told me that the truck runs and idles much smoother now then it ever did before the tuner was added. It looks like all of that softwear and programming capabilities from bosch has paid off and we have even refined the stock tune to be smoother.
