Worth Tuning a stock truck?
 

Well my truck is stock performance wise for now, is it worth getting a tune now? or should I do my basic bolt ons then tune or tune now then bolt ons then tune again?

most tuners offer a free lifetime of upgrades.. so it's definitely worth getting tuned at this time. it will wake that 5.3 up.

Sweet! the 5.3 is getting to the point when I go wot that it doesnt bring much of a smile to my face anymore so the performance mods have to begin, Nelson tune coming sooon!

that's my current tuner. you'll love it..

I've seen people get 1 second in the 1/4 mile just from tuning stock, find a local tuner before going mail order, do your research first.

the only tuner I know of locally is a dyno tune, but I thought I read somewhere that you shouldnt dyno tune unless you have any after market drive shaft cause the stock one wont hold up am I wrong? Also If I go mail order should I order a daily driver firm shift, very firm, etc, and how much torque managment should I remove, normal amount, 80% or all of it?

I have the stock driveshaft and have dyno'd dozens of times. If you mail order tune go for the highest octane tune (93) :judge:

A live tune by a good tuner will beat a mail order hands down.

i agree. when i got my truck tuned all i had was a cold air intake..

i took my truck pretty well from the dealership to the dynoshop:jest:
