Default New Tune

I went today and got a new computer $40.00 for a new computer was dirt cheap(out of a Tahoe) and then the Lady3bglover and I went to go see mister 9 second runner. Well WOW is about all I can say. The difference is night and day...It sounds different and healthier and more responsive as well now running along in 2nd gear about 50 punched it and it broke the tires loose. The new Tahoe PCM I was told tonight runs and tunes better than the truck PCM's ...We are hoping to see the 13's that I was told was under that hood now.....Go get Em' Lady.

I can definitely tell the difference and the truck isn't stalling out in first or reverse.

What's the closest to 13's you've gotten on an rcsb? Eric took the truck to the track one night. He and Flaco hit 14.2 respectively, that was with a diff tune and old transmission and the 20's. I have new transmission from FLT with Vig 3400 and now the new tune. I also have the smaller wheels for the rear, so I should be ready to go.....

I think it might be your tune as well try a new one. I got that Tahoe PCM here local dirt cheap...$40.00 When I ran the truck before like the Lady said I was running a 14.8 14.7 then I asked Flaco to drive it he got a 14.2 then I drove it again and I ran a 14.3 so yes it was close but now we'll just have to see the difference maybe another Dyno pull to as well...

We got some 17's to put on the back for this time just to play around. We dont go to the track enough to buy the rims and slicks. I just want to see what it'll do in the 1/4 the way we drive it around town vs. weight reduction. but yes we'll see and soon maybe next weekend.

It has to be in your tune. I ran a best of 13.51 @ 102 with the same 60' as you at HRP with cam(TR220 550 112), LT's, 4.10's, electric fans and slicks. Did you mean 3.73 gears? Now I have a FLT lvl 5 and a Yank 3600 and looking for a very low 13. A 12.99 would be nice but not getting my hopes up lol. So your truck with the mods you have should be in the 13's now. My truck is tuned by Nelson.
