tuning 2006 5.3l for performance...

Attachment 66420Attachment 66420

I am certainly not an expert at hp but have done several tunes. On these trucks, I normally go into the power enrichment table and lean it out a little bit and it helps a lot. doesn't seem to help much on this one, but it also seems to already be a little more lean on that particular table than what I normally see. What else can I do to get more performance on this ?
I see a lot of people talking about adjusting the volumetric efficiency but I have not done that before. and also im not sure exactly which VE table to adjust or how to adjust it.
info on that or general info on how to get more HP out of this otherwise is appreciated
thank you

Is everything stock?

What fuel are you running?

I'd lower the RPM delay in PE to 2,000 rpm, time delay to 0 seconds, up the enrichment ramp in rate to 2.0. You should be okay commanding a 12.0 to 12.2 AFR without a wideband. Currently this tune is still rich down to around 11.3-11.7.

If you are running 89 or 91+ octane you may be able to add more timing at WOT but you'd be the one to know with watching logs.

Past that there are little things you could do here and there but without mods you aren't going to be adding anymore horsepower.

Also, change your gear ratio.

Those 3.23 just plain old suck if you want to make this truck move out of it's own way. It needs 3.73's or 4.10's if you really want to enjoy it.
