    Nelson's tune ( mail order ) is by far the best i ever used, and yes i have used a few, one thing about allen, if theres a problem with the tune and you feel its not right call him or send him a pm or even mel which now handles all the calls. theyre very prompt now and they'll get ya taken care of quick, you just have to ask questions if you feel theres a problem with your tune. go to the source and resolve it


    one thing i never understood, its it true you have to give a tune time to settle in, i never did and never had any issues i put it in and run the dog out of my setup lol.. i dont have time to put 100-300 miles on a tune!!!
    Simple: 408 on steroids!
    single digits coming soon!

    I personally love my nelson tune. To this day it is hands down the best purchase I have made for my truck. To top everything off their customer service is out of this world and that is the biggest deal to me.
    2005 black Yukon XL SLT - traded in for me wife's new Fusion (GM sucks these days)
    2002 black Yukon SLT (the skinny sister)
    1969 green Pontiac GTO (Layla, AKA the black sheep)

    INSTALLS AND MORE.. http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/my-ga...-low-life.html
    Sticky/broken gauges? I can help. PM me for details.

    I am on my 3rd tune now from nelson and have never had any problems. I had a hypertech at first then switched to the nelson and it was a world of difference. I can deffently say my truck would not have just put down 325hp on dyno with out my nelson tune. By far the best $400 bucks I have spent on my truck.

    running that cam without a verter and expecting results when your tune is specifically for that verter is not gonna happen.

    install the veter and upload it again like Nelson said.

    on a side note, i hope you got pushrods and spring for that cam too.

    Yeah I got springs and hardend pushrods. Its just the idel in park and neutral is really bad. It sound like I have blower serge.The whole truck rocks side to side. In drive at a stoplight you can't even hear the cam.I'm shure they will fix it. I'm just telling the facts about my experience.

    Did you order the tune for your current setup or one you are going to have? Two different things entirely...

    That is why I told them I tune it for a 3000 stall I am instaling this weekend.That is a good cam. It pulls hard on the highway. So some more gear and the stall should make it fine at the track. So what is mixed matched? Long duration cam = big stall and gears. I have the gears now I have the stall. I knew the truck would lose bottom end with this cam, hence the stall I bought.

    For the one I have pluss the Cam and stall. So I told them K&N CIA, Shorty headders, stock Y-pipe, 3 inch exhaust with a cut out- Flowmaster 40 series- exits in stock location, 3.73 gears, LS1 hot cam(525/525 112 LSA 271 intake 280 exhaust advertised) and the 3000 stall. The only thing left to install is the stall. I'm not mad or anything, we will just see how thing turn out.

    Long duration for massive vehicle size and low lift....combined with a stock converter. Even a 3K will be too tight. Need more lift and stall or less duration AND the 3K.
