    If you already have a Nelson lifetime tune you can have him reprogram what you have for the new displacement.

    A buddy of mine wrecked his 02 with 5.3 and said I can have it cheap. Thats the only reason. 6.0 does sound great though. My budget is tight due to the fact that I also have a boat with a 280 mercury drag motor that eats up alot of funds. AAAHHHH men and there toyz&#33;
