Thinking About A Tune

[c.j.]

is a tune worth the money for better milage? what about chipping out my GMC sierra?

Yes, it's worth the money (for other reasons), but most don't see more than 1-2 mpg better. It's all done via programming now, no chips involved.

I got 07 crew 5.3 4x4 w/ 33x11.5 getting 18.5mpg back and forth to work

Did you get it tuned? I have the exact same truck and am only getting 14mpg

everyones going to tell you to go with blackbear obviously. theres nothing wrong with it, but sometimes not having a handheld dosent suit your needs.

 

i have a superchips handheld, which i only have becasue i got an amazing deal on it. only paid 150. costs 370 new. i didnt think i would actually see i diffrence in fuel econ, but when i have it set on the MPG tune i consistently got 1-2 MPG better. i dont use that tune anyway.

what are some good chips, programmers to get?

Running a wheatley tune and I went from 19mpg high to 24 mpg highway on 93 octane tune. But this also came from intake, long tube headers, exhaust, taylor wires, and new plugs. Cruising around 60 - 65mph.
