<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(93Ext5.7ltr @ Mar 28 2006, 08:23 PM) [snapback]48578[/snapback]</div>They can continue tuning, but not until next week. One of their employees broke his ribs and is out 4-6 weeks. In the meantime, their 'high-profile' clientelle takes presidence over me. Which I understand, "money talks and BS walks".
This thing doesn't rev. Yes, you can rev the engine.
What it feels like on the road is there is no torque, at all, in any gear. It won't downshift and it seems like instead of holding the gear, it drives up to the next shiftpoint (whtout holding the gear) and shifts "too soon". There is no firmness of the shifts. It seems like the truck has 355hp, but 50lbs tq.
Thanks for the encouragement.
[/b]that's too bad, I disagree.
Everything else quoted above is exactly what is corrected with a street tune. The problem with only dyno tuning a truck is, anything below redline is questionable until you get the car home.
During a street tune, shift points, firmness, up and down shifts, max timing, a/f ratio (almost), drivability, ltrim tuning, idle, start up, hesitation, acceleration, etc, etc is corrected. That's more important than a high rpm horsepower number. Get a wideban installed and there's no need for a dyno, just for numbers.
Go back and get it corrected, I'm sure there is another 50hp waiting to be unleashed.

Thanks stssilverado, I hope your truck is doing better. I'll be here for the next tuning session after the mods are installed.
