May sure to do some tranny mods. I'm on my 3rd one Lol. I finally got smart and had one built.

Well, realize that if you do these mods individually, you're going to need a retune after each mod. If you can afford to have a little downtime, the best thing to do would be to have your tuner tune for all the mods and install them at the same time. The E-fans and gears require a retune. The LT's can go without a tune but really won't shine without one. I used to live in Wabash, IN. I can't recall you having access to 93 octane. 91 will do just fine. But yes, it will be a difference.

I'm still having trouble believing a tune is worth while without some type of mod other then a bolt on. difference yes show me soemthing to back it up.. how bout this kid be a ginny for us. Go get a dyno and then just tune the truck show me something better than 9 peak hp and tq gain or a reasonable steady pull as in better tq curve so on... With gears yea you need soemthing to tell your speedo what speed your really goin but tune a stocker really..
Oklahoma can only get 91. Texas has 93. Same difference.Originally Posted by kyhunter89
You should probably shut your mouth until you've learned a thing or two. Tunes don't just affect the HP and TQ. They change the entire drivability of the vehicle. Go drive a stock truck. Tune it. Drive it again. It's night and day. Numbers don't mean a god damned thing. It's people like you who act like they know what they're talking about, give advice, and then are proven wrong over and over that really make my life worthwhile.
As a matter of fact. I'd never own another vehicle without a tune being the first mod done. I'll also never do another mod without a retune. Hows that for you?

My plan is to wait till I purchase everything then order a tune and install it all when I get my pcm. Retunes with Blackbear are free but I don't want to abuse it. I can get 93 everywhere in town so im good on that. And Thumpin the tuning on my truck is amazing quite worth the $200.
headers ory
e-fans
possibly tru trac and 3.73s 4.10s 4.30s ?
93 bb tune
is what im saving for now then im saving for cam and top end stuff and moving to the interior
also what is it that causes 4l60s to fail the only reason there is a rebuilt one in it is because a intern mechanic started it up and moved it with barely any fluid in it.

If you can afford the down time, your plan sounds perfect. 4L60s fail because they are anemic trannies built for 3200 pound cars instead of 5000 pound trucks.
