    Whats done to the truck??

    What have you changed in the tune??


    From a quick glance and no stock file to compare too, I didnt really see any changes made.

    Lots of stuff can still be done with little effort and make the truck much for responsive and fun to drive.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    Just a few minor suggestions to give it alot better get up and go.

    Under the fuel, power enrichment.

    Lower the RPM delay from 5,000 rpm to something like 2,000ish.

    Increase the enrichment ramp in rate to 1.0 or like 1.5, factory spec is really slow. Doesnt hurt to get the fuel there faster.

    PE Throttle/Pedal is set to 87%, which is basically your foot on the floor. Personally I like to decrease it to to 50-75% throttle. You can change that if you wish for it to kick in sooner or not.


    Also the factory settings tend to run really really rich. If you look at the EQ ratio, see how the numbers climb really quickly after 4,000 rpm. It's adding alot of fuel there, which isnt really needed at all.

    Just for some math and how the numbers work, it's 14.68(stoich for gas)/ 1.220 = 12.03 AFR. You divide the eq ratio from the stoich to get a rough guess at the commanded air fuel ratio. As you saw the factory specs go alot higher/richer and thats not really needed. I tend to back off those high numbers and flat line it after 4,000 rpms to 1.220 eq ratio, just to command around 12 AFR and be safe still. I do that with cars without a wideband. Always checking knock retard along the way.

    Hopefully I didn't shove too much at you at one time.
