    forget the chip, get a tune. Nelson tune is a custom tune done by either hp tuners or edit - can't remeber, but it gives you a REAL performance gain. With the tuning program, Nelson can tune/change many more things than just shift points - like timing and torque management.

    Nelson Tune is a custom re-programming of your stock computer. You could equate it to a Hypertech with infinite capabilities and much better results.
    No more trucks, but this is what I used to have. 2000 GMC Sierra, 6.0L-LQ4, Built 4L60, LS6 Cam, The Other Guys Headers, 3 inch exhaust and 7 chamber flowmaster, 43lb injectors, Nelson Tuning, Drop - 3/4 McGaughys Spindles, Bell Tech Shackles & Hangers. Best time 13.59 @ 106

    You can order the tune over the web or on the phone. He will mail it to you.

    You submit an order from a form that includes info about your current setup plus any optional stuff Allen can do. You can pay via PayPal or work directly with Allen about arranging payment. Either way Allen will want to talk to you about specifics of your tune.

    He sends you a PCM programmed w/ the tune, you swap it w/ your current PCM and it return to him as a core. The swap is real easy. You'll be amazed at the difference, even w/o any other mods than the Nelson tune.

    And, oh yeah. welcome to the forum.
