Did you notice any increase in power/performance?  MPG?

I'd be interested to know the shift points in Sport because it's a blast to drive! I have the 6.2L and a Borla, which makes Sport mode pure enjoyment to drive [emoji7] Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using T

There is a magazine article out there that shows the GMPP adds 15 HP and it made a improvement of .2 secs in time to 60 mph. I can't remember which one?? Sorry. Not a big gain, but it is a gain. I hav

I'm with you... When I turn Sport mode on it's hard to say what is happening. The 6.2 gets up to speed so fast I need to let off the gas. I do notice a slight difference in exhaust sound when in Sport

I purchased the truck with the exhaust already installed so I don't have anything to compare it to sorry.

I also have the 6.2, so for me saving gas isn't really a main focus of mine.

I have a lead food, so my sport mode it's not used to cruise around, it's used to hear the exhaust scream and to feel the engine come alive [emoji16]

The performance and MPG was more of a curiousity.  Borla has claimed about 13HP, which is probably not noticeable, and about 1-2 mpg.

 

I plan on adding an exhaust soon, probably the borla S.

I have noticed since putting on my Corsa Exhaust and S&B CAI that is very noticeable and I see an almost .35 secs improvement in sport mode. I just use an App.  @OnTheReel has the real 0-60 timer device and he has seen great gains with his truck.

Have a 2021 Chevy Silverado z71 4x4. Noticed a very rough ride and neck breaking throttle response on Normal mode. The very hard ride made the back of my neck sore especially on California’s worst roads in the nation ( makes sense we have the highest gas taxes NOT).I experimented with putting the pickup in sports mode thinking it would be worse than what it already was. Boy was I surprised. It rode much smoother and the throttle was a much more gradual increase in speed. It rode like my old 2008 Chevy it was awesome. My Conclusion the modes are backwards and (the Chevy software has a problem remember our Chevy’s get software updates and just like a computer there can be issues) are reversed in the module. The steering was even better and not as tight which is the way it’s supposed to be in normal mode. If you Chevy pickup rides like a tank in normal mode put it in sports mode because this is definitely a software labeling problem.

      3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
