I have received numerous PMs asking about my tune, so many in different threads, I don't believe I could find them all, so I thought I would just initiate a seperate thread to address it. This may be a long post because there are several details worthy of mention...the tune, mpg, the ride, bumper chips. First, PCM of NC, in Mooresville, NC, are genuine professionals who focus on GM products. Tuning is just a side aspect of their business. Their claim to fame is custom building GM cars to customers desires. Too much detail for this thread, but I saw 6 Camaros with everything from exhaust and intake to complete custom "hotrod" with supercharger. Lots of head and cam jobs on late model Camaros. The oldest one was a 2010. They have their stuff together and very, very, customer oriented! My tune far exceeded my expectations, even though this was my third experience with them. For those who haven't seen my previous posts, I live in Montgomery, Alabama, 6 hours, plus, drive to Mooresville, however, the results were worth every mile. The most noticeable is in the low end, great throttle response, he adjusted cam timing, shift points and pressure, very smooth shifts, Deleted AFM, and it just keeps digging as long as you keep your foot in it. I thought the 6.2 ran pretty good from the factory, until Alvin Anderson, the owner, worked his magic. I know some of you could actually explain the tune better than I , and I was there. All I know, by the seat of the pants, my truck is now 100% better in driveablility and fun than the truck I took up there. By the way, they use HP Tuning software. They have a commercial license with them for unlimited use. They can do everything for the 2014s, including of course, the 6.2, my engine. I know some others don't have the software yet to tune the TCM. I can honestly tell you the Airaid system I installed before I left, definitely overrides the sound of my custom dual magnaflow catback sytem when you get your foot in it. With the tune, it is much more noticeable, man does it suck some air with that huge snorkel coming down from the air box behind the grill. I don't know what else to say about the tune specifically, other than it's like a freaking miracle!!! One note about MPG. I went up on MLK day and the traffic was ridiculous. I never exceeded 75 the entire trip and a lot of it was under 70. As a result, I had one segment of 22.4 MPG with an overall average of 20.6 MPG for the trip up. On the return trip, there was a lot less traffic, so I played with it a lot, trying to break in my tune and ran 80 to 85 most of the way. When I got home the computer said I averaged 19.7 for the trip home, however, I did the math the old fashioned way, total miles vs. gals and came up with 17.8. In my book, that is fantastic gas mileage for the way I was driving home. Alvin said it should improve some, and I think it did, considering the way I was driving on the return trip. One last point of interest, stone chipped bumpers. First, know, I am very OCD about staying away from vehicles in front and when passing semis, I do it at excess speeds to expedite the maneuver. I got four stone chips on the front bumper, however, when the stone hit, the paint flaked all around the tiny spot where it actually hit. The paint was actually loose, you could peel little pieces off with your fingernail. I did get a normal stone chip on the hood, no paint flaking there. MY dealer's body shop is doing the three step process to attempt to touch it up and get it smoothed out enough to put the Clear Bra on it. They would repaint the entire bumper if I wanted it, but I prefer to try this first. I had tried before I left to find a clear bra installer, and could not find anyone around here who did it. The body shop manager is going to call this guy who does it and he will come down (115 miles) and do mine. He said this guy is the best in the state, but he's pricey. It's going to cost about $1000, but I cannot go through this every time I take a road trip. The body shop manager said he never seen anything like what happened to my bumper. He said, It was as if it were painted a second time in the plant. I know it was a very revolting development. I have had a lot of stone chips, but I never seen paint do that before. OH by the way, my 22" wheels rode like a limosine the entire trip. In my opinion, 18" could not have rode any better. That's my story, and I hope it answers most questions that were asked of me. Let me add, if anyone is interested in an in-person tune and feel like you are within driving distance of Mooresville, NC, give them a call. PM me for the contact info. There's nothing in it for me, I'm just a very happy customer trying to share some great info with my GM Truck community. Have a great weekend everyone!

Here is a teaser pic before the sun went down. I will post more pictures here tomorrow but this should confirm for everyone that the BDS 4-inch lift kit plays nice with 35" Toyos (barely!) and no trimming was required. I also added the upgraded Fox 2.0's to the rear with the install. For those interested the measurement from the ground to the middle fender was 37" front and 38 3/4 in the rear before the lift kit and wheels were installed. After the install both are 43 1/2". More pics tomorrow. 2LZ Z71 4X4 6.2L Max Tow Sunroof Summit White

I'm at 115,800 miles, and a bit over 3,300 hours. Lots of hwy miles (V4 Mode). Those plugs had just under 30k miles on them after the new pistons/rings. FC

No you dont have to remove the factory seat covers......$420 from autoanything.com

Here are some more pictures:

Its interesting to see the plug with the most deposits came from the same location mine did. My plugs were in worse shape than yours. Although mine were in worse shape with more deposits than yours. What kinds of hours are on your engine?

Looks really nice I have these same N-fabs on order. I've had them on all of my trucks and never had any problems. Just trying to for see how they'll look with the oem 22's.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the wheels.. those are the only OEM chevy wheels I can stand to look at.

I hope it leaves your white t shirts with sweat stains

Wtf is FM radio?

The first FM car radio was introduced in 1952. 60 years later and GM can't figure it out. Unbelievable.
