Corsa Clips and Playing Around in the Duramax

I got EFILive today and loaded up a "small" tune in it to see what it would do. It woke the truck up bigtime and made me realise how much I need to get a built trans in this thing. Apparently from my reading and Kyle the hesitant shifts are from defueling which is basically torque management for diesels. It is what is keeping my trans from puking so it will stay in for a while. After I get some other stuff paid off a suncoast level 4 and 1058 converter will be going in then a real tune will be loaded up.:D

6 speed close ratio through the first 4 gears:)

With a built trans all the stuttering/bogging will go away on the shifts and I can throw another 200+ hp tune on top of what Im running right now:devil:

Yeah, Isuzu is the world's largest manufacturer of industry grade diesel engines. If I were to contract a company to build diesel engines for a vehicle inexpensively, I think I would have chosen them, too.

Holy Crap man! That thing really moves well for having a small tune and being a 3/4 ton CCSB 4WD truck.
