shadowsniper3006 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 get a hold of Frank on here, revolution. He can set you up with a great tune and answer all of you questions fully. You can tell him your plans and he can make a tune just for your truck. http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/index.php?showuser=6980 Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaotik1 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 All you need is a TUNE.. Tell them your mods, and they take care of the rest. I have a Zippy tune, and I love it. You also need to tell them the gas you are running, most tunes, as well as the truck require 91 ocatane. I have mine set up for 93octane, cai, and exhaust. If you plan on headers you will need to adjust fuel trims for that later once you get them, which if this is a thought, get the tune, and keep your PCM this way you can drive while getting re-tuned.

Porno Joe Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I had a wait4me tune on my old 05 z-71. Wait4me is one of the cheapest tuners around, i think its like 180 and you get to keep your stock pcm. Not bad as long as you can get the crank relearn done, my local chevy dealers are dicks and it took me 5 dealers before I found a GMC dealer that would do the relearn. From what I have heard, it seems to be a good idea to get a tune done in person, thats the route I am going this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerJJ Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 what will they do in a face to face tune, diffrenlty than a mail order? For you, being a 2WD, most shops can do a dyno tune and really dial you in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsniper3006 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 what will they do in a face to face tune, diffrenlty than a mail order? Face to face they can hook up to your truck and program everything exactly to your truck, not just a general program that will work on all trucks. It's "custom" tuned for your truck and your driving style. Not say that a mail order tune is bad, just not as full as it could be in person. Another thing to ask is how much, if anything, they charge for a retune should you get more mods or change your mind about something.

gixxerrider Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 does anyone tune in southeastern MA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04silveradoclone07ss Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 a guy next to my old shop were i work does dyno tunes, but he doesnt have a chevy program, he said he could buy it then do it for my truck. his website is cd performance . edit-im still undecided but i think a mail tune will be cheaper since his price is like 60 and hour plus he would have to buy the chevy adapters and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
