Does any one custom tune the chevy 6 liter
My friend was very impressed in the xcalibrator (Troyer tuned) for my truck and wants the same for his Chevy 2500 with the 6 liter, so if any one knows a really good tuner for Chevy please let me know. I did tell him to buy a Ford but you know those Chevy guys, they just don't get it, HAHAHA.

I know an excellent tuner for hte 6.0 liter chevy but he does not use the eXcalibrator. he does rom-tuning to the stock ecu. He is probably one of the best chevy tuners in the nation. Especially for boosted vehicles. He tunes 4.8, 5.3, 5.7, 6.0 as a specialty.
Name is Allen Nelson and he owns Nelson Performance Tuning.
http://www.nelsonperformance.com is the website.
He tuned my buddies vortech supercharged z71 and it ran 15.1. Not bad for a z71 extended cab 4x4 using the stock 7psi pulley.

Hi Thumper,
Actually, we can provide the custom tuning for that 6.0 GM right now - we've been doing that for GM's for years. We will also have a couple more options coming up hardware-wise here very shortly, so yo might want to have your friend give us a call.
You know, it's funny - I grew up in a GM household, my Dad's side of the family was hard-core GM - then on my mother's side of the family, they're been working for Ford since just after WW1 - but when I went pro drag racing years ago, I ran Mopar's. So we've dealt with all of them, and almost any vehicle can be a very cool and enjoyable vehicle if it's done right - even if it's not a Ford - but we've been bleeding Ford blue here at Troyer Performance for a lot of years now, and don't own anything else.

Hi Bartak,
For the most part, yes - it does apply to our work on things like the various intake kit manufacturers & exhaust system manufacturers, certainly - as well as superchargers, injectors, MAF's, tuning and most other parts as well. Whenever we do a "major" round of testing, we try to include as many vehicles as we can.
Although it's also true that there's just no way for us to be quite as 100% thorough on *every* vehicle we do as we are on the FoMoCo's, we generally do more testing than most on the American-made trucks & SUV's whether they're FoMoCo's, GM's or Mopar's - especially the last few years since the GM "modular" V8 motor family (4.8, 5.3, 6.0 & 8.1) and the Mopar Hemi have come out, we've been doing more in those makes the past few years.
Overall, I think the reality is that our competence is at it's absolute best in the FoMoCo's, followed just slightly behind by the GM's, and then a little bit behind that with the Mopar's. The reality is, we do a lot of all of them, though Ford is always in the majority simply because of where I spend my personal time - I don't post on GM & Mopar web sites like I do here, for example.
