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.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
