    2010 5.3L/6spd CC 2wd - Nelson Performance Improvement 1/4 mile

    Hey guys, I get this asked all the time.

    Here is a customer that came by and we look forward to modifying his truck extensively in the future. Next on the list, possibly, tvs, cam, headers.

    We tuned this one a few weeks ago and the track results are in:
    Truck: 2010 crewcab, 5.3L/6speed,cai,muffler,tuned,20's,lowered.

    Kevin (customer): " I thought you guys might be interested in this, your tune shaved more than a full second off my 1/4 mile!

    Stock it ran 16.60 to 16.80 consistently, Friday night I ran it 5 times and all were 15.6s.

    After I put on the Volant CAI and Flowmaster, the truck went backwards to 17.2s...after your tune it
    dropped my ets by over a 1.5 seconds."

    Good to see this result. I'm curious as to how my crew cab runs
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    Your may see a little lower #'s if you haven't added any weight.

    good numbers for a pig of a truck.

    Hey, could you PM me the details on the pistons I bought from you so I can order a replacement.

    I'm happy to report that I just enjoyed another ride home from San Antonio, had quite a bit of fun along the way.

    Took my truck back down to Nelson and they professionally installed a set of headers, off road y-pipe and then Allen re-tuned my truck.

    I can tell you there was a major seat of the pants improvement for sure, I will get some time slip feed back posted up in a week or two.

    Thanks Allen and please pass on my appreciation to Erica, Lisa, John and Ray....simply put you guys kick some major league ass!

    Great service, great value and a wealth of knowledge right their in that building. What more could you ask for?

    See you guys in November for the TruTrac and 3.73s!!!
