is your exhuast still stock?

have the tuner de-senitize the knock sensors alittle, and the burst knock table. aside from that i couldnt really tell you. what all have you done to the truck as far as mods?

imo i wouldnt raise the rev limiter above 6000rpms. if you look back at my dyno sheets from my first dyno the truck intake started to loose air flow at like 5200rpms. so beyond that point your not really making max power anymore. if you havent i would do the drill mod, itll give you quicker shifts, and adjusting the burst knock table will make the motor come in quicker on quick down shifts or when you slam the throttle down for quick take off. instead of the truck falling on its face.

hit me back with some info and i might be able to come up with a couple of more ideas for you.

well i would do everything i posted up top.
desensitize the knock sensors a little
desensitize the burst knock table about 5%
adjust rev limiter to about 6000rpms
adjust top speed limiter to about 150mph
adjust fuel cut off tables to match your rev limiter
if you dont have them already get some e-fans and have it tuned in all at one time
tune your ve table for part and wo throttle
adjust your spark table and match your low octane to your high octane table
change your spark plugs to tr5's (i think that is the stock replacement plug)
make sure you clean your maf before hand, filter, and intake tube before tuning
if you havent change your jba wires i would change up to msd wires
check your pcv valve before tuning
clean the tb if needed before tuning

there are probably a couple of more things im forgetting, but if i remember anything else ill post it up.

these are the things i have done to my truck. now granted i have a 6.0 and your running the 4.8, but all in all what i have pointed out should work on your truck too. let me know how it turns out.

is your truck an 04? if so maybe i could road trip and give ya a hand on some of the tuning. i come within a couple hours of there on my way to KY when i visit family. the next time i should be down that way is the weekend of august 9th.

also i just thought bout it, but your wife's camaro is a sports car it is setup for some of the things i listed. your's is a truck and isnt really setup for performance.

ill have to see what i could do come august for some extra vacation time. you would have to have a spare bung open so i can put my wideband in. now by no means am i an expert but i have learned a few things. if you guys are good with that ill try to perfect my tuning skills between now and then, and we can settle on a fair payment when the time gets closer, but dont worry itll be cheap. im not out to get rich off of this by any means. sound good guys?

is there a cheap hotel round you guys? cuz what i figure is ill come down there and spend a day or so down there working out your guys' trucks and then crash at a hotel and the following day head off to meet my family in KY for my cousin's wedding.

i would do the drill mod as soon as you guys get the chance. itll help out when we tune. with the drill mod youll actually be able to hit third on the fly and not have to wait for the rpms to come down under 5 grand. lol. also if either of you is planing on lt's and cat delete ill be able to fix that up too. ill pull the torque managment off of the trucks too. and get rid of abuse mode. if you want to change intakes or go to a p/p tb. i have never worked with spray or fi, and wouldnt know where to start with any of that. sorry. like i said before i do recommend e-fans. it made a big difference in mpg and torque. adn getting rid of the cats made the biggest difference. you wont belive the bottom end that the cat delete will give you.

what year is the camaro? i have a license for 98 f-bodies too.
