Have you been tuning the stock setup?

My buddy wants me to tune his 5.3, won't hardly spin the tires. I'm going to try playing with the cam phase tables after we get more than 4* of timing in it :rofl:

No, I left mine stock. It's not to shabby stock either, it will blow the tires off from a dead start and will chirp 3rd wot. It's really a handful in the rain already, I have to be careful passing even at 50 mph or it will blow thru the tires. I do have the 6l80e so that helps I'm sure...

What rpm will is brake stall to? This guys truck is a turd below 3k.

Reducing the torque limiting tables helps a ton on the 5.3s. You won't gain a bunch of overall horsepower tuning them but reducing the torque limiting tables will make a huge seat of the pants difference when you stab it off idle.

Have any tips on what tables exactly? Went through his tune today, and pretty much maxed out all the torque limiting and tcs tables. Still a turd down low even with that and a bump in timing. Seems to shift a lot better for the time being.

Snapped a few quick pics while meeting my buddy to unload his 37 13.50 Toyos in my shop.

Man I want to supercharge my work truck, but I already the LBZ for a toy. This 6.0 gasser just feels like a gutless turd since it’s almost 9000lbs with tools and fuel.

It's not slow...:D

I'll get HD Dave to make a couple go pro videos for y'all! It's almost stupid it has so much power and the Maggie makes enormous torque from tip in on the throttle, it sure is fun to drive now that I added a rear adjustable sway bar....:rofl:
