    50-100hp Duramax tune?

    Was wondering if anyone had one? I think I can get close but didn't know if anyone had ever pulled a tune from a programmer or something. I got one that says 100hp superchip tune but I'm not sure and don't want to over do it.

    It's going on a 2003 LB7

    I am by far no tuner but if I was going to pull a tune to use on a dmax, it would not be from a superchips tuned truck. For 03, I would pull a PPE (if they were out then) or Quadzilla tune...

    I wouldnt tune it. If you do and u abuse it the tranny is usually first to go. At least on d#dge and f#rd.

    I run the Quadzilla on the 110 everyday, it's where I get the best mileage as well

    good rule of thumb on a dmax is no more than 100hp over stock for the allison. Higher hp tunes yield better gas mileage as well. Ran mine pretty hard for two yrs and never put it in limp mode.

    From what I understand much like the gas trucks a custom tune is the way to go. Even offers a multi tune option similar to the programmers.

    Yup same here, I'm waiting for the weather to clear up so I can install the Transgo jr and deep pan. Then ima try the big tune.
