Best chip for 08 5.3?

I'm just wondering what would be the best choice for a power programmer for my 08 5.3l?

a professional tune would be your best choice, not any sort of plug and play programmer

I've been hearing about lots of people doing those but didn't know much about them. I'm from Edmonton Alberta and not really familiar of any places around that would do that?

First of all I will need to know if you have the 4 or the 6 speed transmission then I can give you the options. If you would likt to email me directly, which I usually reply to faster, i can get you all the details on our email and /ir mail order tuning.

Call them up and talk to them, or fill out the form on their website. They will send you a tuned pcm, and you send yours back. No down time.

There's a couple tuners in Edmonton, and a really good one in Calgary. His name is escaping me right now, I'll see if I can track it down

He has the 4 speed. That is all that came in the 08 silverados. 6 speeds weren't introduced until 2009 and they were only in a crew cab. Go with Nelson Performance. I have his tune as well as many others and I am very happy with it. I owned a ton of handhelds before while I was in high school and my custom tune is way better. It is smoother as well as quicker. All he does is sends you a pcm. It takes about 10 mins to swap them out. It is very easy and he will send you directions with the pcm on how to do it. Then you are tuned! All you have to do is send yours back and you are good to go with free retunes for life!

The 6 speed transmissions were actually used in the 2007 New Body style HD trucks as well. There are many customers that we have tuned both 2007 and 2008 that have the 6 speed transmission.

Good call. Allen's a good tuner, but local should always be a preference if they have a decent reputation.
