Default Who can tune a 96 model truck

I have a buddy who recently supercharged his 96 model truck and upped it froma 350 to a 383. He called me to ask who can tune it. I have no idea if a 96 could use lt1edit, or if there is another package for trucks of this year. Any one have any ideas....

I believe Ed Wright at Fast Chip can do them.

It has 4 aux injectors right now.

Thanks for the replies thus far.

I understand Nelson was one of the first folks to do ls1edit for all you truck guys. There really nothing different about a truck ls1 vs a car ls1. So programming those isn't an issue as I see it. I know a lot of folks use Nelson, but does anyone know for a fact that he can program an ealier model truck, or are the recommendations based simply on the fact that he program the a lot of the Ls series truck stuff?

Ed Wright, I have nothing against Ed, and I know he was programming PCMs when no one else had software, so I guess he is an option. But, I know many folks aren't excatly fond of some of his tuning.

The tunercat stuff looks promising, but this guy wants someone to tune it for him. So, does anyone know for a fact who can actually tune a 96 model truck and who actually has software?

Who is Wester?

As I said, thanks for the replies thus far. If you have any others please post up.

He's in Canada.

If you're going to Nelson's shop (San Antonio, btw) and strapping to the dyno, then go that route, but if you're doing mail order, Wester's can't be beat.

Check my sig. I have yet to see better numbers from ANYONE else's mail tune. I've asked, as have others, but our requests ALWAYS go unanswered.... go figure .....

You in Houston ?? We have a truck run scheduled for Saturday, think you can make it ??
