Did you use the tool to turn the speed limiter off?

I don't think u guys are understanding this. A 4.8 making 250hp is not going to propel a 5000lb truck 90+ very fast.

With the stock converter shifting into 3rd gear rpms drop fairly low and out of the power band.

Even a custom tune will not fix this.

Yeah I removed the speed limiter, and idk I feel like the tune did make a difference, maybe some of you guys with the black bear tunes and what not don't feel the same way but that's understandable seeing as how it's an actual custom 1 off tune. Anyway thanks for all the input guys!

I'm gonna look in to headers this weekend, and a Ported & Polished TB if my paycheck permits (hoping) from there I'm gonna see about a custom tune from Lew or something along the lines..

Custom Tune from Lew will make a diff since you will be data logging and he will be using that to make adjustments ... Even from the canned 93 tune u already have you will see a difference with his custom tuning ... I know my 5.3 did ... Ur going to need retune again after headers install but u get a years worth of tuning with Lew anyway.... You wont be dissappointed .... I really dont know though how much more u gong to get on the top end side of that 4.8....Just my opinion on that .. But Lews tunes are facts

You can't go wrong with a custom tune from LEW.

yeah, I can definitely get you hooked up man, no worries..

With the custom tune, you'll gain even better/quicker throttle response & acceleration, stronger/harder pull, smoother & quicker power delivery throughout the rpms, etc...

As far as gains go... absolute hp/tq gains are hard to predict... every vehicle is different... even if they're the same and have similar mods... location/weather, fuel used, elevation/altitude, etc etc all play a role... the same holds true for mileage gains - those variables, plus driving habits/style, how much highway vs city driving, etc all make a difference.... you could gain no mpg increase, or you could gain up to about 3 mpg increase... tough to say due to the variables in play... so there is no guarantee of any specific amount of hp/tq or mileage gains...

with the custom tune, I CAN tell you that you will definitely have a very noticeable performance difference/gain over and above the canned preset diablo tunes...

I have gained people anywhere from 12-39hp, and 10-23lb. ft. torque...and 0 to 2 mpg - above and beyond what the preset canned tunes give you...

so just hit me up whenever you're ready... www.diablewtune.com
