Finally got the custom tune dialed in after three revisions and it feels like a different truck.
That $600 for the tuner and pro tune session stung at first, but pulling onto the highway now without any of that factory hesitation makes it worth every penny, you know?

I always figured the factory tune was fine to save money. My buddy spent $500 on a dyno tune for his Silverado and I thought it was a waste. Then he let me drive it. The throttle response was instant, no more dead spot off the line. It completely changed my view on tuning.

Wait, but is it really worth that much cash though? I get the throttle feels better, but dropping $500 just to fix a dead spot seems wild. Factory tunes are made to last forever and handle all kinds of drivers. That's a lot of money for a feeling, even if it's a cool one. I'd probably just learn to drive around the lag, lol.

Man, I was totally in Luna's camp before I did mine. Thought it was just paying for a fancy feeling. Then you actually drive a truck where the pedal does exactly what you tell it to, exactly when you tell it. It stops being a "feeling" and just becomes how the thing should have worked from the start. Factory tunes are built for a million different conditions and drivers, not for actually being fun or direct.
