    You still have a lot on the table if you wanted to go the hp route. If memory serves you're more after a tow tune? OK for that, but looks like you'll just be losing some economy with some of the changes. Other stuff looks OK.
    2010 Vette Stock Bottom LS3 - LS2 APS Twin Turbo Kit, Trick Flow Heads and Custom Cam - 12psi - 714rwhp and 820rwtq / 100hp Nitrous Shot starting at 3000 rpms - 948rwhp and 1044rwtq still on 93
    2011 Vette Cam Only Internal Mod in stock LS3 -- YSI @ 18psi - 811rwhp on 93 / 926rwhp on E60 & 1008rwhp with a 50 shot of nitrous all through a 6L80

    GHuggins, Thank you. i just filled up to check mpg with this setup. my dash meter is showing a decent increase. (yes i know they arent accurate). im trying to find a happy medium for power and economy. most people i have talked to are getting 17+ with these trucks tuned, while i average 15-15.5 mpg.


    here is my as found from previous tuner. i asked for a little power without sacrificing mpg and a trans tune.

    Well. Yours sir is definitely WAY better than that tune People keep telling me I'm expensive, yet I actually TUNE in the calibrations... Honestly that last tune you posted looks like something you would get from one of those handheld tuners - very lacking in what was done.

    You should be getting up around 18 to 20+ with factory tires. Yours will be less, but would think it would still be better than the 15 - that's usually around towing economy.

    GHuggins, thank you. little confidence in what im doing anyway. i still have some tweaking to do yet, it is averaging 17-18, however it doesnt want to open up past 4500 rpm as it is. my towing economy with the as found tune averaged about 11-12 on a good day, maybe 12.5 on a flat road. i think he left a mostly stock tune up in it and just worked on power enrichment. i am going to keep plugging at it. i appreciate the feedback

    as it sits now average mpg was 15.25, its alot peppier than before, this average is a mix of backroads, highway and in town, so a true average,
