First off I guess I should introduce myself:
My name is Cal and I'm a college student at Texas A&M University. Due to various reasons, I sold my beloved Cummins this past year and purchased myself a 2009 Silverado base model with the 4.3L V6. The truck is nice enough for me and requires little work/maintenance costs, but it does lack in certain areas. Now I know these little straight six compression ignition motors pretty well, and could build a 1,000 horse streetable truck if I had the means, but the budget currently does not allow for that, so I guess I'll be content with what I have.
My question, therefore, lies on the basis of tuning my Silverado with EFI live. I have a friend who owns the tuning program and uses it on his LMM Duramax, and has offered to tune my truck as long as I pay the licensing fee. Consequently, I would like to know if there are any tunes available for this motor, or if anyone has tuned them and would be willing to share any advice.
My knowledge of EFI live is very limited; all I know is that you can do it with a laptop, and it works on GM's. So please, go easy on me and help me to learn!
Thanks for you help,
Cal
