    Installed a tune from a 2008 silverado and now have it 2 bar tune, no MAF. The factory MAF tune did not respond correctly unless you were WOT. It burned up my 408 pistons during a half throttle run. Running the stock 4.8L engine plus 42 lb injectors with 10 lbs and running good. Ran a 8.48 at the track a few weeks back. Waiting to get it tune a little more. Needs more fuel pump, too. I need to upgrade pumps, thinking about the Aeromotive Eliminator http://aeromotiveinc.com/products-pa...pump-assembly/ pump.
