You are a tune away from liking it a whole bunch,cant imagine it having much of a tune if V4 is still enabled,trans should shift solid at the right time with confidence,i got over 100k on three 014+ trucks,not one problem but a few recalls,never at the dealer longer than two hours,you bought yours used,hard to know exactly how it was treated.Well unless you knew past owner,fuel mileage should be decent too.

I don't have the V4 mode disabled so I hate that it mostly in that mode for some reason and truck feels like **** like this. I Don't feel the Trans or Diff will last long with hard pulls as well. Everybody wants the power but mainly understand should have a lot of mods to cope with the power properly. haven't been getting terrible gas mileage about 16L per 100km with regular driving. wasn't using the truck much in about two months with remote start and 100km a week short drives were getting terrible gas mileage 33L per 100km. just some personal first-hand info on my set up so far. For me, its been a lot of problems in a short period of ownership with the K2 platform common things, but I feel like these trucks dropped quality and have made me think of changing brands but everybody the same when I really look around.
Surprised you wish the power was down low. I also have a 6.2 and thats the opposite of what I want. Stock 6.2 has tons of torque down low and then it falls on its face after 5k rpm.

You might have a crappy tune. Stock tuned 6.2 feels like it has no power down low. When you let it out of its cage with trans, throttle, and torque management tuning, it feels like you did a big block swap.

I have an awesome tune with v4 enabled. It’s just a check box that has nothing to do with the tune quality.

Exactly, just turning it off is the easy way.

I will be interested to see with no intercooler, 6psi, water/meth, e85, and the 3200 stall how my truck will run with this supercharger. Should be fun!

Good stuff, whoever that is maybe they'll get a few more video's up.

I'd like to see part throttle into medium throttle response or like a 6th gear down to 3-4th gear passing move just to see how it picks up and goes. Not exactly WOT but just how it moves out with a little boost.
