Definitely find a local shop to do a road and dyno tune.
I had bad luck with my first experience but the second shop cleaned up what the first shop screwed up and saved all of my work from there on, because the first shop never saved my original tune.

Many of us would have guessed black bear,several here had BB before there boost and the tune was OK ,then when boosted they ran and shifted like sh*t.

Another problem is EFI live does not off the TQ managment setting needed for the trans.A good in person tune with HP tuners is what you will need,DO NOT beat on it now or you will toast the trans.

The truck shifts terribly hard, does not seem to pull smoothly, just seems to be lacking in how it should perform, and traction control kicks on at the first to second gear shift (never in first only at the shift). Truck does get raced so performance is key. Could really use some advise on getting a spot on tune that clears my issues and leaves me worry free. Located in central Illinois.
Looks like last April you posted how sh*tty is was running and now you are getting the same advise.You mentioned going to the track at the time.

You didnt post your track times,did you run better than mid 13s ? with normal tires you should be mid 12s maybe a hair better,get a real time.

I don’t drive the truck very often and being busy with other things I’ve put off getting it retuned. So now I’m making the time to get it done and looking for advice on my best options. I ran it in the 1/8 and it went 8.3s I believe but will have to find the slips tonight.
