Default Nelson tune is in

Finally got the truck back from the shop and installed the pcm thats been sitting homeless in my garage for almost a week.

this pretty much sums it up :

Truck is way more responsive than with the 'aggressive' Predator tune and has more power. At WOT it pulls harder and the motor sounds like its finally come to life (It really does sound different/better...might be in my mind)

It has about 60 miles on it so far, not sure how long the 'learn period' is......but its definetely a keeper. Absolutely no problems, just slapped that bad boy in and went for a drive......I was able to nail it from a stop and spin the tires with the cutout open.....something I couldn't do before especially with the cutout creating a huge loss of backpressure/torque.

At first I was concerned that the shifts weren't firm enough, but they are quick, which I guess is really all thats needed instead of a 'firm' shift. I will run the live data on the predator to check out the timing, TM, maf lbs/min etc

So yeah, the truck runs awesome now, and I would recommend this to anyone...it really does blow the hand helds away
