Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

Get a printed detailed copy of the work done, including part numbers for items replaced. And a written summary of the changes to the tune.

Hopefully they'll already have a sheet printed up ready to go.

So far its money well spent.
It's like a totally different truck. Even sounds different. Power is there when you need it, there's no surging of the idle--and no idle chop--which is fine with me.
It was tuned using a Mustang dyno. Looks to be 345 rwhp and 355 tq. Not too bad.

WOW nice!!! I'm sure the gas gauge is going to act different too.

Actually the tuner told me I should get just a little bit better gas mileage. Nice.

Hope it's straightened out now, Tony! Have some fun!

So what injectors did you get and what changes did they make to the tune?

I forget the name brand of the injectors, but they’re not oem. The injectors are 44 lbs--which is plenty for my application. I'm just really happy they were able to figure out all of its issues.
As for the tune, they had to start from scratch. They started with a baseline LQ9 tune, then tweaked it from there. Guy told me the tune was just "off". It also was tuned using Speed Density--it's a maf system.

why in the world would anyone run a SD tune on a NA set up. thats ohhh so much more work and sooo much harder to make right. SD/VE tuning is really for boosted set ups that will out flow the maf's capability's.

really seems like the first tuner found a tune and slapped it in there and didnt give a *** if it was right or not.

did they figure out why the obd2 port would work on and off?

Agreed, 1st tuner was a moron.
This tuner had to disconnect my Pioneer DD radio. After doing that the tune downloaded with no issues. I asked why he didn't just take the fuse out. He said he wasn't sure if it was wired correctly and it was just easier to unplug the complete radio. Idk, but it worked out for him.

Finally home.
