I Had a cam, blower, longtubes, springs, pushrods, oil pump, timing chain installed on my truck by a local performance shop, Tr6 plugs were installed as well. About a month ago i had posted on here that i had thought i had a broken lifter. Took it back to my tuner and he too thought it was lifter, and we were going to pull my 5.3 heads off , have them worked, and install new lifters. I put it on hold , and then came across a 07 6.0 with 15,000 miles, so i said forget the heads, ill upgrade. Well this weekend i pulled the 5.3. while doing so, i pulled the plugs, so i wouldnt break them pulling the headers, i found all of them to be gapped different, #7 was completely bent closed, the rest were red as **** too. that plug had not even been firing. so then i went to turn the crankshaft and found bolt missing, it hadnt even been there, pulley was rusty where should have been. Pulled the heads and found that all exhaust valves burned red, and #7 exhaust valve white in color. My truck had always smelled like it runs rich, i bet it had been running on 7 cylinders this whole time, the tuner was thinking it was rich due to that cylinder sending raw fuel out the exhaust, and leaned the hell out of it. I need a good tuner to tune my 6.0 with all mods in my sig that i had on my 5.3. So basically i ran a 13.2 on 7 cylinders, thats the only good from this.

 

Hey Jason. I have heard of some tuners in the VA beach area. Might want to look into that as well.

 

National Speed in Wilmington is pretty good at a decent price. The only other one around here that I'm aware of is Majestic Motorsports. Those guys are really good but be prepared to pay for it. They're pretty expensive.

 

Majestic,they are in jacksonville right? Hey usmc3521 do you ever go to coastal plains dragstrip? if so we al should meet up sometime.

 

Yeah I go there every now and again. Just keep an eye out for the slowest gasser, that'll be me But yes Majestic is in Jacksonville off of Piney Green.
