    Am I on the right track?

    2008 Silverado VMAX 4x4. L76 6.0, 4L70e and 4.10 gears. Never tow anything, barely haul anything more than a few garbage bags. I use the tow/haul mode as a sport mode. An Airaid intake tube and filter is the only mod currently. I have Lt's and exhaust ordered. I have wideband, plugs, wires, thermostat here waiting for the exhaust to show up. 2" drop shackles sitting here waiting on the rear sway bar to show up.

    I live in northern Michigan where we get lots of snow. A car with a V8 is not practical year round, so, my truck is my muscle car.

    Learning from the internet videos and forums. This is my first experience with trying to tune a vehicle, Can someone please take a look at my tune and make sure I don't destroy anything?

    Can't say one way or the other without knowing more than that it's for 'a vehicle'.

    Drift King. These kids, I dunno man... it doesn't have to be fast as long as you can fool people into thinking it is? How did that get to be the norm?

    Why'd you apply the 2-bar OS? Not that it shouldn't be used N/A, just there are a lot of things that have to be sorted for it to work. It's not flash-and-play.

    Maybe because it's an 08?

    Really only wanted to have better control over fans for now. Cam and DoD/AFM delete kit is next. There is a supercharger going on eventually. I just figured I'd learn on what I'll eventually be using when the SC is ready to go on. I literally just downloaded the Blue cat program and intend to take a look at it this evening when I have more time. I'm just trying to get the most out of the tune for what i have right now without going overboard. I'm mostly just trying things from the internet and see what feels better as I drive it. Here is a log from last night.

    Well your PE is kinda rich and is delayed way to late in my opinion. I would bring my eq ratio to 1.175 across the board and would try and set your delay rpm to something more realistic to around 3-4k rpm and setting your enrichment timer to 0. That should bring in your PE sooner and help with any lag that your feeling.
