Call Justin at Blackbear performance and get a custom tune.

Have him send you the date logger to drive around with and get real world data. with the drive by wire you will be amazed with how much throttle the computer pulls out for " torque management" Made a huge difference in my old 6.0

biggest gains are:
91 octane Tune
efans from the 05 and up
Better filter, cold air kit (plastic tube, not chrome or stainless)
Tires aired all the way up
muffler helps some
65mph is the sweet spot with 3.73 gears

I agree go with Blackbear or Diablew. Both collect data first and then do the tune. Diablew seems to have much faster customer service.

Like for a 93 octane tune :cool:
The throttle body spacers are for the most part worthless...most time all they do is make an annoying whistling noise with no real improvments....some say they get more Mpg....but i never got anything out of the one i tried....and later sold on ebay....and another buddy of mine did the same thing...even after me telling him it wont do anything. :(

I have a 2009 2500 hd GMC and looking for alittle more power , So what is a custome tune consist, I thought of a exhaust kit.
