hi everyone! i just bought myself an 09 chevy quad cab 4x4 with a 5.3 six speed and i love it! but i would like to tune it, adjust the rev limiter, shift points, torque management etc. would would be my best option? i had a diablo for my 04 chevy and one for my ws6 but it's my understanding they dont offer torqu management tuning any more?
Use hptuners or best bet is Nelson Performance - Performance without Sacrificing Drivability
where are you located?
does hptuners offer torque management tuning?Quote:

my suggestion to you would be to find a local tuner that still knows what hes doing!!!!! Allen is a good tuner, but its just way more convenient IMO to have a local tuner, assuming he can still get you a good tune.
i live in the middle of nowhere. there is no such thing as a local tuner lol. my only real option is a handheld tuner, and i like doing my own vehicles. i dont need every last hp i just want to tweak it to my liking.Quote:

you could get yourself HPTuners and then get a tuner like Allen to help you with your tunes via email.
right on thanks! i think there's alot left on the table with this truck in the tuning department when it comes to shift points and torque managementQuote:

look around some more, and if you think you could handle it id say get yourself the HPTuners software and see what you think of it, and if its too much contact a professional tuner and get them to help you over email.
i've been looking into it and it seems pretty involved and not too cheap, but it seems pretty cool and i've been wanting to learn more about custom tuning so it might be the way i'll goQuote:
