    Got a Nelson tune

    Got a Nelson tune. Lets start from the begining. My truck with a K&N CIA,Pacesetter shorty headders, stock Y-Pipe, 3 in. cat back with a cut out and Flowmaster 40 series , Diablo Sport tuner, Ran 15.70's at 86 m.p.h with a 2.40 60 ft. on 30 x 10.50 slicks at 4200 ft. of elevation.

    I installed a GMPP LS1 hot cam with the same set up as listed above and dropped to a 16.28 at 87 m.p.h.. My 60 ft. was 2.70. I understand the loss of E.T. becouse my 60 is crap, becouse the cam does not make the low end the stock cam did.But it pulls better up top. The salution? A Nelson tune and a Yank 3000 stall.

    I installed the new Nelson tune and nothing. It idels worse, it surges, has less low end , runs rich, revs and does not pull, and hold gears too long at cruising speeds. I have not installed the stall yet. When I ordered my tune, I told Nelson I was putting in a 3000 stall. Being I installed the tune with out the stall could this by why my truck runs so bad now? I am going to put in the stall on Saturday. I called Nelson up and they said I could send it back for a retune but I'm going to wait and see if the stall fixes it. What do you guys think?

    Takes about a 100 miles or so for the tune to "settle in"...the 3K stall would probably help as well...

    I'm surprised they even tuned it considering the mismatched combo you have.

    HOT cam is a horrible choice for that truck IMO and on a stock stall it's no wonder it got slower.

    I have had nothing but success with Nelson performance. If there is any problems i know they would fix it ASAP.

    God created turbo lag so nitrous trucks could have a chance.

    Something doesn't sound right, are any ses lights being set?

    You might have gotten a bad upload, not sure.

    Get with Mel and we'll send out another pcm.

    Even a stock pcm will run better than that, so I'm assuming a corrupt upload.

    Well lets try to fix it.
    I need some scans and what is the truck doing that isn't up to your performance expectations.
    There's always a reason, we'll figure it out.
