me vs my buddy's chevy

this may not be the right place to place this...and if its not i apologize!!...but i sorta have a complaint with my truck...for the past 2 days me and my buddy have been catching each other coming home from work on the local highway...he is 100% stock with the exception of the hypertech programmer...hes got the ccsb...the same motor...same trans..maybe a different rear...with everything ive got done...though not to much done...i figured id walk him...at the line i get him...but not by much...and at a roll i get the jump but he walks me to hell and back...maybe i shouldnt be all that po'ed bout the situation but c'mon..... any suggestions?...

you have a 5.3? What is the rear gear ratio of ur truck vs his truck? Ditch the Jet programmer and get a Nelson tune, the grannetelli mass air is a waste, sell it to help pay for your tune.

next time race him from a roll, and when he gets in the right spot, pit manuever him and you will win!

The '07+ trucks are monsters up top but are dogs off the line.

+1 on ditching the programmer...get a Nelson tune! You'd be surprised how much more power the computer tune can unleash vs. the programmers. I had an Edge programmer that I wish I would have saved my money on.

Most of that is in the tune. There's a corollary 'tween the 07+ 5/100 powertrain warranty and the sucky tunes they have.
