checking in from Wichita Falls TX

[Volumetric Deficiency]

Been lurking for a year now and decided to join. I recently aquired a 2006 rcsb 4.8 with only 29,000 miles and looking to upgrade the power. I originally planned to go the 6.0 route and probably still will someday, but for now I would like to see what I can get out of the 4.8. I know some will say don't waste money on the 4.8, but converter, rear gears, headers, exhaust, and intake will all carry over so I'm not too worried about that. I've got no problem with the mechanical side of things but I'm kind of new to the computer tuning part so I'm looking for help in that area. Thank's for any help and hopefully I can contribute as well.

welcome, id just have some one tune it, and then worry about learning to tune, thats what i did, got a tune then bought hp tuners and started messing with it and if something screwed up i could at least throw the professionals tune back in and drive it.

I would like to have Nelson Performance tune it, but I've heard that he locks the tune so I wouldn't be able to play around with it if I understand correctly. On the other hand, I can still use the software to log data and get an email tune wich would be better than sending me a new pcm, right?

You are in the same boat as me. Mod all around the 4.8 till you are finally in the position to do the 6.0 swap

did you used to live in kennedale?

Been to the track there years ago but never lived there. Bought the truck in Arlington several months ago, so it's possible the previous owner could have been from there.

I say you could just put a good bit of boost through it
