I've tuned a couple 4.3's, they have some good power left in them especially if you have a light truck. It's the usual PE Fix, tune VE, tune spark, remove TM, and you're pretty much done.

I had a 2001 4.3 RCSB silverado with Westers tune .mnaganflow muffler .shorty header does nothing ....had airraid TB spacer did nothing but did have a CFM Tech ported throtle body CAI and a Westers tune ran real good for what it was

There are a couple of places in Kansas City. If you stick with the 4.3, expect to spend a chunk of change.

Dogsofjune- I noticed you are working on turboing your 4.3 are you doing a rear mount or upfront? And where did you find the kit for it? Apparently I am not looking hard enough.

Dogsofjune

Turbo upfront using SyTy manifolds. Nobody, trustworthy, makes a bolt-on kit.

Are you gonna use all the piping and everything from the ty and sy's? Also since we are vortec is that gonna have any effect on how well it runs? I am not quite sure exactly how different the 2 motors are but I do know that the first gen 4.3's were a little different...so what exactly is the difference?

i have a buddy that has an S-10 extreme 4.3L that is running pretty strong. he has only ever made it out to the 1/8th mile track but he is running mid 9's in it. he has shorty's, cai, plugs, wires, tb spacer, minor tranny mods, electric fan and then was street tuned by Nelson.

So, I should definatly look into a Nelson tune?
