    A tune consists of optimizing the timing tables, correcting the a/f ratio, providing a nice transmission tune and making adjustments for any modifications you've installed so that you get performance without sacrificing drivability.

    Tuning your stock 4.8L will not be a problem, we've done many of them and we'll set it up just right.
    A good one would be a 93oct performance tune, however, the 89oct turns out great as well.


    thanks,
    allen

    The tune is $375 and includes free updates, plus shipping. Just disconnect the battery, remove the pcm and enjoy the tune. You may have to get the ckp relearn done. We'll adjust the speedometer and shifts for the new wheels.

    Wow, remove the PCM and you get a new tune. I'm going to have to try that one out. For some reason I think theres a few steps left out.
