    Found the GM 4-6-8 speed tranny book to be very helpful for a first time tuner although its a bit pricey @ $200...it does lack in depth details as some sections don't mention any explanation of what it does nor why it recommends certain values to be entered... only other criticism I have is the fact that it says to modify/disable TRQ reduction without any warnings while the HP software/guide clearly warns that it will break something/reduce tranny life.
    2018 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4x4 6.2L 8 speed, Airaid intake tube, fenderwell/airfilter intake widened/matched, Katech ported TB, manifold intake ported/matched, Magnaflow catback exhaust, tuned!

    Don?t bother on tuning school books. Want something worth the money then go spend it on greg banish videos. I have learned something new on everyone I have watched. His gen v stuff is really good.

    Ed lost the battle to cancer. He fought it and won twice. The last time got him - that was all before Covid. I talked to him earlier that year when he had beaten it the last time, I guess it came back with a vengence - I know he was suffering, but he wasn't the guy to ever let you know. Great guy and will be missed...

    Thank you for your advice; I would buy several books, now I prefer videos instead.

    I agree you will save only the money but also your time.
