bjdtruck Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I know I posted a similar question in the VHO/VMAX forum but I figured alot of you guys might have missed it there so I am asking the same questions here. I am looking for the BEST Programmer available for my NBS 2007 GMC V-Max Crew Cab 4x4. My local 4x4 shop is pushing the Edge Evolution EEC 2200. Is that a decent unit? Any other suggestions? I don't want a hand held programmer. I like the look of it installed on the dash (or door post). I am probably going to do a cat back exhaust & maybe a CAI as well. I should probably say that my MAIN intention in doing performance mods is to improve the overall performance of the truck. I am NOT going to race it or anything along those lines. It is used as a tow vehicle & everyday "driver". I am NOT planning to spend alot of $$ on a custom tune either. Any help is appreciated!!

Fireman31 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) Like mentioned in the other thread, nothing beats a custom tune.......either a PCM swap or a dyno tune. Handheld programmers are not worth the money, you get so much more out of a custom tune. I had a handheld before my Wheatley Performance tuned PCM, the difference between them is night and day. Don't waste your money on a handheld, put the $$ towards a custom tune. A custom tune costs the same as a handheld if not less than a handheld. Use the search function and you will see that many many others agree. Edited September 4, 2007 by Fireman31 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivierakid55 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 the problem is it isnt quite that simple to tune a nbs truck since there is both a pcm and a tcm that would have to be tuned in conjuction. (at least this is my understanding). i think zippy was working on a mail order system but as of yet didnt have it available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
