Um, so anyway. I too am thinking it's the tune. I'm positive it's not TM, that has been totally removed by Allen. He too said it sounds like i'm dumping too much fuel. I need edit bad. Well, and I need to learn how to use it. Where can I buy it?

Allen won't re-tune it for you? That's strange, I would think he would, he seems to have good customer service. You should ask if he'll re-tune it before you go and buy edit.

If you took it to a dyno they should be able to wideband it for you and you could then report back to allen and have him make some changes. Do you have access to a scanning tool?? With Edit you will still need a scanning tool. HPTuners has both. That is where my money is going..... if this laptop that I paid for 3 weeks ago ever gets here.

If I try to powerbrake it, it totally bogs out and they don't spin at all. Anyone have a guess?

Denalihd, I have the same problem with mine. Now It is not as built as yours but it is a 03 2500hd GMC with the 6.0 , 4.10 gears posi. You can try to do a breakstand and it just bogs. I also have exhaust, upd, descreened maf, Predator program. Thinking about a stall conv.
