    Question Gen V tuning ?

    I just purchased a '07 Chevy Silverado (new body style) with a 4.8 liter V8 engine. I have tried tuning an '07 Tahoe with a 4.8 before, so I know it's not possible at this time? How soon is support for these engines coming out?
    (2007 - LMM diesel, 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, 6.2, 7.0)
    I am especially concerned about tuning my new 4.8 truck. I got an awesome deal on it since I'm a GM employee, but it has NO options (WT), and I need to tune it soon! (Has 3.23 gears, 285 hp / 295 tq, reg. cab short bed 4x2)
    Thanks !!!

    Correction : I have 295 hp / 305 tq , I beleive.
    Still, all of the power / torque is at around 5000 rpm, and the lazy gears are
    not letting it get up there. I am saving up (for a while) for a 4.10 gearset, which I beleive will help a lot. I am glad that LMM support is on the way, however, those engines are not even out yet (here), while the new gas motors are a dime a dozen, but not tuneable by EFILive.
    I have no money for mods and I have already invested in tuning so I am very anxious for the 07 gas motor support. I have a "C" engine. I can provide you guys with info on the new trucks, as well as any other GM product, just let me know what you need. Today, I did a Mobil 1 oil change, removed the spare tire and jack / tools, and installed a drop in K&N filter I had laying around. Then I did a burnout with only 349 miles, but it felt like one tire fire. My truck is slow, (feels like high 15s) I NEED TO TUNE !!!

    Do you guys need any stock Gen V files to develop support sooner? How do I even do that? (I tried and it wouldn't read)

    You can only read supported tunes using EFILIVE, therefore you can't read out your stock tune.

    Sorry but I was wondering if there are any updates regarding this issue. It seems that I have a half dozen customers with new trucks lined up and I've been telling them that it will be a few months. Thanks.

    My '07 4.8 liter "C" motor Silverado is painfully stock and shifts like a granny!

    I was incorrect, they are not Gen 5 after all. They are Gen IV with E67 ecu
