    2009 4.8 Silverado

    Where to start?

    What to tune for mileage and for some power? Any one with a 4.8 liter?

    Also looking for a good conf file.

    Hey, Geoffh, would you mind posting your stock tune so we can compare to the Edge tunes?

    I will have to read the PCM, I have one that someone else has sent to me.

    This isn't mine but it was supposed to be for a 2009 with the 4.8L, i did check the stock 5.3 and is different.
