    it's the weather and a stall will benefit a stock cam.

    An 07 Classic? How many miles? How many miles on the mods? It all makes a difference. You can't expect for a truck with little to no miles on the motor and mods to run a sub 14 sec right out of the box. Yes, all vehicles are ever-so-slightly different and respond to the same mods differently--but they don't vary lot. Let his motor and PCM to get used to the mods and let it find it's set....

    If he gets his tune on a Tuesday, have him drive around as much as he can before Wed so the tune can get some road time. The new tune is not going to be instantaneous---it takes a good 250-400 miles for it to get all acquainted with the new stuff. The tune has to "learn" the new components...

    I disagree. the truck should run harder with a stall on the stock cam without hurting it. my ecsb 5.3 pushed 1.88 60' times. my stock cammed ls1 ecsb on the same converter went 1.88 60' times. my ls1 ecsb with a cam went 1.88 on the same converter. finally just upped the converter to get better 60's and im still not happy with a stupid 1.82

    What? It doesn't lock up on the highway? Did you specify TC lock-up in your tune? There is no reason why it should stall that high when driving on the highway... Was it installed correctly? Did Allen set specific lock-up parameters in the tune?
