Getting your truck "tuned" includes modifying your fuel management, advancing timing/spark, removing torque management, increasing speed limiter, increasing rev limiter, shift firmness, tire size changes, etc.

I'll be taking my truck to Horsepower Solutions in Edmonton, Alberta later this summer. They quoted me $700 to tune my truck for a whole day on thier dyno.

From what ive heard after a tune its a night / day difference....plus they would be tuning on a dyno so they can see the gains and make the most out of your modifications

new-colorado · 06-28-2012, 08:58 PM

yup for sure. ptb is coming in this week and intake is already in. still undecided on the exhaust so im still riding a fence as to which one lol. but one day it will get decided. with the I5 not many sound like they have the half decent low rumble i wanted but cant expect much with it i guess

I'm quite pleased with how my magnaflow sounds!

new-colorado · 06-29-2012, 10:27 PM

do you have a drop down magnaflow or staight out the back?

All I did was replace the stock "gas tank" muffler with an 18" magnaflow, so my exhaust still exits in the same place....drops down by the spare tire
