    i dont know if you will reap as many benefits using a SD tune when you are n/a vs someone like me who has forced induction I guess. Thats what i hear

    I agree, with your mods you don't need a SD tune.

    ok cool. its not like i cant get a sd tune if i ever do go F/I. but one thing i am really wondering is like the approximate price for a live nelson tune and/or a mail order 93 tune from nelson? and if i do decide to get a mail order for now will i have to pay for another tune and all that when/if i do get it live tuned?? that hardly makes sense to me....but would i be basically spending twice the money i guess is what im trying to ask?

    once you get one tune. you get free retunes. Once you get major power. i.e. cam nitrous/FI then he will charge you like 125 more. But thats it. you can get a mail order tune, drive it down there and get a retune for free

    since you have a 5.3, you have a new body style.

    with HPtuners you can tune it yourself. There is alot to learn about tuning to do this.

    you could also have nelson tune it and get hptuners, then you can scan your truck after the tune. Then you would send this scan back to Nelson, he will adjust the tune and send it back through email. Then you you upload the new tune. This is the next best thing to a live tune. This is what I do.
