Default Which One?

I have been a member since Apr 17 when I found my 2005 C-6. I got it with only 22500 Mi on it and now have just over the 32000 mark. I have added full length non-cat SLP headers with the mild SLP rear exhaust, Edelbrock Cold air intake with the smooth non-accordion intake tube. I installed new plugs, Granatelli wires. With these add-ons I know I need a good tune to bring them all together. I live in southern New Mexico, and we have NO Emissions testing at all here. I am a little on the beyond tech age (74) and did all my own work tilll just a few years ago on "straight" car era. If anyone knows a tuner in Albuquerque that is 220 miles north My son lives there and I can go there to get it done. Or if there is a no-screw-up tuner that works that I can buy then I may do that. Help!! I may be old but I still can throw a good 2-3 shift. JB

A hand held tuner and a mail order tune would be the easiest option.I have always had good luck with Diablo tuners and tunes from Diablew(Lewis Eaton).

Default That's one

Yes, I have been thinking about that one and several others and I hear the Diablo I3 might be the correct one. that's where I need the help to find the correct tuner. Even If I go to ABQ to visit my son then I can spend a few days to get it done. .

Before you bang too many shifts remember that 05's have a one-year rear end that is not known for being strong and that might be worth thinking about updating to a 06 -13 rear end.
