i love it so far. i have alot of bolt ons that the PCM couldnt ajust for and the sniper made it easy to ajust for them. just click a box then it tabs down with differnt chooses very easy. easy to change shift points and remove rev lmiters.

you might have to wait till it gets upgraded to do the 08. the version we have does 96-03 but 04+ needs to be upgraded.

i recommend this tuner if you like doing stuff your self and are pretty good with computers.

i was wondering about the speed limiter after the tune...i cannot stand this thing cutting off at 101....

I'd think it HAS to have a max speed adjust! If not, that would be a "deal breaker" for many of us.

Rev limit and top speed remover included!

Yes you can remove speed limiter and rev limiter. forgot to change mine so i can still only go 104 * GPS verifyed* need to retune with shift points and speed limiter.

i have to say i though id pull shifty but all the weight of my truck plus bigger tires doesnt help. my trans has over 200000 thousand on it and it doesnt even think about getting hot, i have a pillar pod with trans temp engine and oil press, and trans sits around 150-180 and i am always beatn my truck. so far i love it i need to play with my shift points, i have my first gear holding to 5500 and its not real happy about that, but i can tell you for certian that i have stomped on every other expo i have pulled up next to so far. the only thing i wish it had was a way to modify when it would downshift. my superchips at 40 would hit 1st, now i need to be doing 30-35.

shifty_85 · #54 10-22-2009, 05:47 PM

hes got 225,000 miles on his expy 5.4 and 4R70W unknown if either have been repbuilt no idea on the tranny change thoe. fluid looks and smells fine. will prob do it soon thoe

Well my truck is running awesome tonight. i got on it and when it shifted 1st to 2nd it barked the tires into 2nd Never has it ever done that. raced my buddys expy again from a dig were about even till 45-60 then i pull away. and from a roll at 50 i just walk away.

need to make 2nd hold longer. also im gonna have someone who knows there stuff help me with ajusting the A/F ratio and have a scanner to see my A/F ratio so i dont blow it up.
