The tuner/programmer will be one of the best ways to boost power. Intakes are usually pretty good too.

I would Tune and do an intake such as aFe. Convert to E85/93 Tune for even more power (will be a little costly to be E85 compatible). I plan to do these things to mine in a couple years.

 

PS man I just love the sound of the 6.2 especially when you get up 80+ mph she's still pullin hard and the engine is just screaming!!

im the opposite the engine sounds like it's got another 2k in it but I'm sure a lot of parts swap would have to be done for it to be effective

The L83 and L86 engines are severely neutered by torque management. These engines have high compression and seemingly huge power ratings, but you cannot feel it until high RPM. You need at the very least an aftermarket tune to reduce the torque management and knock retard to feel what these engines can really do. Cheap investment is s Diablosport tune. Turn off the torque management, and adjust the other available parameters and you will have an entirety new truck! I was embarrassed to drive an eviboist before, and feel it's power off the line, but now my 2005 5.3 feel like it should, rated at 355 HP. And I still get better mileage than an ecoboost. 20 mpg is no s normal expectation, and it sounds great, like a V8. Which it is.

power off the line is good you have to baby it just so you want spin I'm looking to improve the 30 to 90 time I would have to put drag slicks to actually be able to floor it off the line if your spining your not going anywhere

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
