Whats up everyone, Of course I am new to this site, eventhough I have been reading alot of ya'lls stuff for a couple of weeks. I have an 04 silverado Z71 5.3 with k&n air intake, volocity stack, true daul Magnaflows and a SLP performance Diablo tuner. I guess my Question is, how much extra power are ya'll getting from Nelson tune. Is it better than the programmer that I have, because my programmer woke my truck up. I am kinda interested in one. Oh yeah, the question that everyone ask, does it void warranty

i like my tune from allen. with full bolt ons i went 13.80 in the 1/4 in an ecsb 5.3 on the stock cam. looking for 13.5 next time out. my truck isnt the norm though. as far as anyone knows im the only ecsb 5.3 silverado to hit 13's on the stock cam/heads with no forced induction or nitrous. i wouldnt go with anyone but allen :thumb:

Allens tune will make you wonder why you ever used a handheld, trust me I have been there myself. He can do allot more in his tunes then a hand held can ever do. Allen is a good guy and will take care of you. He is an extremely friendly guy and has allot of knowledge to answer any of your questions. I have had him tune the last couple of my trucks and will continue to do so.

I have a 4.3 reg cab. yeah its the smallest motor on the boards, and probably the slowest, but he made my truck come alive and i dropped 7 tenths off my quarter. as stated before, he is a very intelligent young man. i wouldnt go with anything but his stuff.

Welcome Chrisminot,
Is "minot" Minot ND? If so come to Bismarck I will give you a ride, or we can race for titles and you can check out what "Nelson's" tune did for my truck. :rock:

20 years old and calling Allen a young man...lol...

Sorry, duck, just hit me as funny... :laugh:

He's right though...get the tune, you won't be sorry. I'd challenge you to find someone UNHAPPY with one of his tunes.

His dog licks himself too much and slurps a lot doing it, but other than that, it was a great all-around experience.

Hey TX, I don't want to hijack this thread, but two things...

1.) You're making great times...do you like the 2600 stall? Wish you went with 2,800 or 3,000? Also, what brand is it?

2.) Can I have your truck? Seriously. I mean you can just give it to me. I don't mind. :thumb:

Yeah I mean Minot ND. I might have to take you up on that offer or maybe we meet somewhere in between. I like to think that my truck is fast, but from what you guys are telling me I need to invest in Nelson PCM tune.

lmao about the dog licking itself haha...its a trailblazer stall. i like it because i pull a small trailer 5 days out of the week. if i was to do it over i think i would go with the fuddle 3200. i still plan to install the TR220 or a 222/222 on this converter and see how it acts. if it needs more converter i will make the step up to the 3200.

oh, and you cant have my truck :nono: :laugh:
