So the LB7 is Better than the LLY ? I thought it was the other way around? my friend has a 04 LLy and has no probs with it, And I want to buy a Duramax 4x4 and hop it it up So Again what should i buy? I definitley want tuning and a BOV and exhaust. So i hear PPE is good? How much does this programmer run and does it support other parameters such as correcting the speedo for bigger tires?-Thanks
