New to the board

[kwkenuf]

Just wanted to check in. I'm a long time guest, but a newbie subcriber. Just about ready to start my retrofit project, stock 5.3 into my 65 shortbed. This is not my first rodeo, I did a 95 LT1/4L60E into a 68 Camaro about 9 years ago. However each swap is different and I'll probably be asking for input on frame clearance for the A/C compressor, (I'm using S&P stlyle mounts) PCM and wiring questions, and other normal swap stuff I expect. I thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide and I'm hoping to contribute some to the board myself.

New to this site. I drive a 2003 Silverado SS. I&#39;ve had it three months now. I love it. so far i&#39;ve put a hypertech power programmer, 40 series flow master, and a FIPK kit. I&#39;m thinking about getting the power tune from nelson performance. Will i really see the difference compared to my hypertech?

Welcome.

If it weren&#39;t true Nelson Performance would not make a dime. Everyone would own the Hypercrap tuner. They base their tunes off of factory specs and people change all kinds of items that you cannot correct for with the Hypercrap tuner once you replace stock parts for performance parts. Plus Allen has probably done a whole lot more individual tunes of GM trucks and Fbodies than they have. He knows what works and what doesn&#39;t. They are busy developing tunes and tuners for the entire market. Nelson is focusing on what he knows and does it well.

From what i know there is no comparison. Hypertech is a cookie cutter program. Red is totally right on what he is saying. You get more for your money from a Nelson tune.
