da2ricky - Road to 200lb -

[New Evolution]

There are quite a few DIY guides on the servo install but I'm still thinking about having a shop do it... probably wouldn't cost more than about $75

You must be allergic to iron because you're swole as fuk.

hahahaha. You got an benadryl? :}

Alright so I've finally got my truck tuned as best I know how. There's a guy that does full custom tunes with the diablo tuners; he actually has the CMR software to write custom tunes. Everyone on various forums SWEAR by his tunes, saying there's a night and day difference between the diablo canned tunes and his custom tunes. It's gonna set me back another $150... I'll wait until after I get my cold air intake so I can take full advantage of a custom tune.

For now here's a 0-60 with using the Diablo tune (93 octane) with firm shifts, active fuel management disabled, and torque management lowered as much as it would allow. Apparently you can't completely turn off the TCM with my transmission like you can with the 6 speed version... FU GM!!!!

It's a truck... still slow, but it definitely woke it up and you can feel the extra power. Driving around town today with about 40% highway miles, I gained 3MPG, and I'm running the performance tune with active fuel management disabled!

You can really see the firm shifts near the end of the video.



I have no idea how much HP I've gained, but the diablo tuner is reporting 354.9 ft/lb of torque at around 3,800RPM, stock is 338... decent gains! Here's a screenshot of the data log I ran during the 0-60 run.

Any custom tune will be better than a canned tune. I doubt you will regret spending the money. Also, I agree, wait till you get the CAI.

Word, maybe next month once I get some miles on this tune. AutoAnything had a promo code to take 20% off orders over $100... needless to say, CAI ordered. Being single has its upside. brb blowing money on stupid chit without asking.

Not sure who all still has this subbed but I think it's time to start logging again

Shoulder, lower back, and pec issues made it completely pointless to log my workouts for the last 5-6 months. Right now all are healed up and I'm trying to ease back into the old PPL routine audie hooked me up with.

I took a week off around January just to rest up, the day before I was supposed to start back I got the flu and had to sit out for another week. First time I think I've had a fever over 103 since I was in middle school. Over the course of those two weeks I lost nearly 15lbs

to me that would always limit your Thursday unless you are a full bod lifter who is used to doing that... or low volume...
