Default Tuning Options For the 2007 Trucks!

There is already a pretty good selection of tuning available for the 2007 models -

Superchips Flashpaq

We've been listing the Superchips Flashpaq for other vehicles for awhile and are now listing them for the 1999-2007 GM trucks.



The Superchips FLASHPAQ handheld tuner is a sophisticated but easy to use engine management tool designed to deliver extraordinary power and torque gains, unparalleled transmission controls and improved fuel economy.

The #2815 Flashpaq programmer for 1999-2007 vehicles comes with all of the same great features that Superchips users have come to love, including 3 performance tunes to enhance both power and drivability. These features include the ability to save stock settings, adjust shift points, adjust shift firmness, raise speed and rev limiters, recalibrate speedometers for tire size change, and read and clear diagnostic trouble codes.

HOW IT WORKS
Superchips tuners plug directly into your vehicle and read the stock calibration stored in your vehicle. A stock calibration is the set of fuel, spark and transmission settings that the dealer installed in your vehicle at the time of sale. After reading this file and saving it to your Superchips tuner, the hand-held device then downloads the Superchips? calibration to your vehicle. All engine and vehicle operations work exactly the same, except your engine will now work more efficiently - which equals more power, more torque and better mileage.

EASY INSTALLATION
Installing a Superchips hand-held tuner couldn't be easier. No need to worry about taking it to a shop for professional installation. Simply find the diagnostic port under your dash, plug in the tuner and answer a couple simple questions.

WHAT'S NEXT?
After the 10 minute installation, just hop in your car, truck or SUV and feel the performance gains. Its like getting a brand new vehicle for 1/100th the price.

NOTE: Superchips tuners are designed for use on stock vehicles only (i.e., no engine or transmission modifications

Diablo Predator Programmer



What is the Diablosport Predator?

The Predator is a state-of-the art, high performance tuning flash programmer in a sleek handheld design. Once connected to the vehicle, the Predators internal computer recognizes the vehicles PCM and automatically picks the proper tuning files designed specifically for that PCM. Inside the Predator's memory are the actual tuning files that optimize spark timing and air/fuel ratio curves. The transmission parameters are remapped to improve the shift characteristics such as shift firmness and shift points. Unlike other 'tuners', DiabloSport's programming is performed in very small increments throughout the entire RPM range, for a smoother, wider and a more predictable power delivery. DiabloSport engineers spend many hours on the dyno, street and track to ensure the tunes provided with the Predator are the best they can be.


Dyno Tested Performance Tunes

The Predator was created with one thing in mind, POWER!

Average power gains are in 10-20 RWHP range in the cars and 20-30 RWHP in the truck line. Less for the 87 octane tunes. The Predators additional power makes itself noticeable immediately with an increase in power that starts in the low RPMs and builds into a frenzy at the high RPMs.

A Predator equipped vehicle will notice significant improvements in drivability. The additional power and improved shift patterns created by the Predator tune will yield quicker acceleration and better mileage, whether it is in town or out on the highway.

The power increase in the lower RPMs will yield a better throttle response. The increase in MPG is a byproduct of maximized engine efficiency, the improved timing curve and air/fuel ratio creates a more complete combustion, i.e. the engine extracts more power from each molecule of gasoline.

Westers Custom Tuning



BENEFITS:
Lifetime warranty (no cost or fees)

Lifetime updates for all future mods ($45 shipping and handling fee)

Lifetime full price paid credit toward your next custom tune for your next vehicle ($45 shipping and handling fee)

No vehicle downtime! You will receive your recalibrated PCM before sending your core back. Want to upgrade this for other mods in the future? No downtime here either! The same thing can be done for this too.

HORSEPOWER GAINS:

Customers have been seeing about 24-34hp from the 5.3 28-50hp from the 6.0 and 25-55 horsepower from the 8.1 motor. The spread depends on how aggressive the tuning is along with other modifications that are done to the vehicle. Fine tuning for other mods will sometimes make more of a different than just running those with the stock programming.

Octane level. Wester's performance tunes are now available with these octane choices:

1) Dual 87-91 Octane tune -- automatically adjusts for octane. Our basic working truck tune. Many improvements over stock. Using the higher octane will usually increase the gas mileage in all our tunes!


2) Dual 89-93 Octane tune -- automatically adjusts for octane. More performance than the 87-91 tune, but requires using 89 minimum octane. (These dual octane tunes are recommended for all dual purpose (work/play) trucks.

3) 91 Octane HOT tune -- much more aggressive than the 87-91 dual octane tune. (Recommended for performance trucks where higher than 91 octane fuel isn’t available, like in California.)

4) 93 Octane HOT tune -- much more aggressive than the 89-93 dual octane tune. 93 octane is recommended. (Recommended for performance trucks. No, or very limited, heavy towing or hauling for both these Hot tunes!

5) Dual 89-91 Octane HOT tune...The most aggressive and hottest tune available for 91 octane limited area’s! Eliminates pinging issues with some engines running 91 octane by automatically adjusting to 89 octane tuning if pinging is detected. 91 octane is recommended. Suitable for areas where only 91 octane is the highest available.

(Recommended for performance trucks. No, or very limited, heavy towing or hauling!)

5) Dual 91-93 Octane HOT tune...The most aggressive and hottest tune available! Eliminates pinging issues with some engines running 93 octane by automatically adjusting to 91octane level tuning if pinging is detected. 93 octane is recommended. Suitable for areas where 93 octane is available, but this tune will run fine on 91 octane occasionally.

Of course Westers can custom tune any of the basic program tunes to your specific requirements and modifications.

The new 87/91, 89/93, 89/91 and 91/93 dual octane tunes will be able to run with the lower octane in MOST conditions with good performance, or with the higher octane or anything in between when even more performance is wanted. The dual octane tunes are capable of tuning themselves automatically for a higher octane, and retuning again automatically again when a lower octane is used. The factory tune will only advance the timing to the limits set in the original spark tables. Filling the gas tank with at least 5 gallons of gas will trigger the automatic octane detection and re-tuning feature in the Wester’s tuned PCM. It’s like getting a custom dyno tune every time you fill your tank!!!
