I just bought a Chevy Avalanche for my wife. i am curious about performance tuners (Bullydog, edge, etc.) what experience do you have with either the Chevy 5.3L or other small block gas engine (any Brand). are these tuners worth the investment?

thanks!

I can only offer you my personal experience with the tuner noted in my sig.

You will see benefits in both power and torque and fuel economy on a stock engine. Period.

The gains in power and torque could be enhanced if you have other mild mods like CAI and CAT back exhaust, but my engine feels a little stronger with the tuner and my K&N panel filter. Best part is I get better mileage too ... about 1 mpg. At this time of year I get about 17 mpg on my daily work commute (30 miles round trip) in traffic on the freeway. I get 22 on the highway at about 65 mph average and have seen just over 25 mpg at 60 mph average. All this on regular gas. I would get more power using the premium tune and premium gas, but is am cheap.

As an added bonus I can also use it to re calibrate my speedometer if I change wheels, change my engine shift points, switch off AFM, turn off top speed governor, etc., etc.

As for the warranty issues ... Pooh! You can revert to stock if you feel the need.

I recommend the tuner I use ... based on actual experience!
