Allen's Tune = More power

At the big GTG Allen came up from SA to hang out and do some tunes/tweaking. Well I took my stock truck there for some laughs and a tune...man was I shocked after then tune!

I totally rid myself of that TqMgt. I run 93 octane too (by choice of me for max power), got shift points corrected, turned off Rear O2 sensors, turned off EGR, no speedlimiter, converter lockup delayed, and bumped my total timing a lot.

It was amazing how little timing this truck had at all levels. Up top it was pulling 40* of timing!!! :eek2: The thing was negative from what I remember up top.

No more dragging ass on the freeway now, accelerating from a dead stop is far easier, just general cruising is how this vehicle should have come from GM.

DO NOT hesistate to get even a stock truck tuned, the drivability is night and day.

And the kicker is...on the way back home to the Dallas area I averaged just under 20mpg...up from 17! :chug:

I don't know who Allen is, but if he knows his stuff, I want him to tune my lightly modded 4.8 once I put on my heads, cam, springs, etc.

I live in Middle Tennessee, however, and I have no idea where to get it done..

Allen's tuning is awesome. :rock: I had him remove TM. In about a week, i'll be sending my pcm back to him so he can really get down and dirty, only thing that bothers me is our shitty ass gas here in Cali. causing some kind of problem. :whack: Congrats on the tune!

You can mail your pcm next day air. He does a good job on tuning. He has done alot of people on this web site. Cali. gas is come to metro Altanta from what I heard. I heard it cost more and is the sh**. I am not looking forward to it coming here.

Hey Allen looks like you are the best! We already knew that but now the word is out!! Keep you the good work! I had a great time in Houston with you and your father-in-law. :rock:

Ya, it was blast, too bad there's only so many hours in the day,
I'm like a zombie now, i'm not used to staying up so late, lol.

Thanks guys on the comments, i appreciate it. Glad you like your truck Hit Man, getting a custom on a stock truck is like night and day, it's worth it.

Even though cali has shit gas, we can still get it running pretty good, the stock trucks are so detuned, they would probably run on 75octane, lol, so there's still some more in there even for you 87 octane guys.
Also, the engine isn't the only thing that gets tuned, to me 40% of it is a good tranny tune.

thanks again,

allen

Yeah I got to sleep at 2am yesterday (I forgot I had a speech due for class at 9am :doh: )

A cheapo gas station by my house sells some 85 octane gas, I thought about being a cheapass once and running it but decided not to.

Heck, just get max on the 91 Cali gas...sure it's not much better than the 89 octane here but man, the difference is huge.

truck is still a little sluggish but i think its comin around only got 200 miles on it since the tune. feels real good tho on the top end.

it stalls up but i havnt been able to find any one around me to compare too. our let me feel the diffrence.
kinda cant bring myself to spend 900 on a 3000 stall right now from yank.
plus the hughes was only around 300 for me when i got it and when i did get it i was new to the LS1 truck seen and didnt know there was a diffrence between them

I have a Hughes in the truck and the vette. They make some nice stuff. Danny recomends them and he's been in the tranny business a while.....

The truck has a 2000 but I should have gone with a 2500 or even a 3000.....

The vette has a 2500 in front of the TH350 and I am pleased with it. It matches the cam very nicely.

I am sure Yank is very good and the price reflects that but I would buy Hughes over B&M any day. :twocents:

no harm on my comment, lol, just wondering how the stall is and i like that smilie, lol

i'm sure you gained from the stall, did you notice a big difference when it was installed,

btw, my 2600 yank was slightly noticable but the average driver would have never known it was in there, that's how subtle it was.
sounds just like the yank then,

yeah its more noticeable with the more mods that i do.
when i first had it done it was hard to tell. but i can really feel it now.
allthough i am wanting to go to a 3,000 stall. i might go back with hughes again. just cant see spending 900 dollars on a stall
i know i sound like a broken record but good god thats a lot of money for .5 of a sec. im hopin that the hughes will do the same thing.
oh and i talked to Mr. Hughes himself when it was ordered. he knew what it was going in and recommended this stall for me. said it would work really well for me.
he thought that the 3,000 might be a bit much for me, at the time and i agreed because of the gas mileage, but hell gas mileage went out the window when i started modding the truck:)
