I'm not a real believer in the gtech other than a comparison tool which I was using during the tuning

i found this site for curb weights. silverado ss 5190lbs. I swear I'm not being a dick, but, 1000lbs makes a HUGE difference at the track. If it went 12.68 and weighs 5200lbs or 6200lbs, there would be a gigantic power difference.

I was pissed to say the least.. The kit does work very well and I couldn't be more pleased with the tech support I recieved from Livernois. As for Quick Silverado and compairing a Livernois kit with a STS I think that a steady cruise boost signal would be completely different due to the placement of the turbos..I will double check that figure but I think that at 75 mph 4 psi is about normal (dont forget my truck is awd and could have more parasitic drag than a 2wd truck) food for thought
