Well I recieved the product in a timely manner as expected. Jesse and Hannah are great on customer service. I got the sct tuner with 3 custom tunes. I installed the Balls out tune first and right off the bat is was a lot more powerful than the superchips cortex tune that i previously had. I havent had a chance to test it at the track but I am sure it is gonna blow the compitition away. I have only put about 30 miles on the tune and it takes about 100 miles to fully relearn everything. As far as the way that they treat the customers and the amount of time to recieve the product they get a 10 out of 10 from me. I will be adding more as I further test the product.

starting the review on wait4meperformance

Did one of your tunes include a 87 octane tune? Down here in the south with all the hurricanes sometimes you can only get 87octane, thats why I have mine tuned for 87.

yes it did he does all of your tunes to what you want them to be.

here is a quick taste of what it has done so far.

Alright correct me if I'm wrong but you just got into 3rd gear when you hit 100 mph, damn the truck shifts at almost 6,000 rpms at full throttle each time. The truck sounds real nice with the cherry bomb exhaust in this video, what are the shift points when you are not at full throttle?

They are normal just like an everyday driver. The video was taken going up a hill if it would have been a strait away it would have screamed to 100. On a strait away it shifts at 6 grand. Amy i told you that cherrybomb exhaust werent just cheap stuff. Let your dad listen and see what he thinks. And for all you flowmaster lovers eat your heart out go buy a cherrybomb. lol

Here is a few more videos that I took today on a closed coarse . IF you took a the milage indicator it is running somewhere in between a 14.5 and a 15.5 quarter The reason in the gap is because I have no way to tell 2.5 and the 1 second gap is me guessing where the quarter and the time make it. You tell me what you think about how fast it is doing in the quarte and 0-60 it is always nice to get another persons opinion. I had a guy on you tube comment to me that it accelerates about the same as a 4.6 ford what do you think.

Any idea of what kind of performance gains you achieved? I was curious on what would be possible for my vehicle, can my shift points even be changed on my vehicle? This really caught my attention. 96 k1500 suburban. Thanks

I am not sure yet. But if you have obd2 he should be able to adjust you shift points that is one of the main things that is done you see how mine shifts.

I really like the way your truck is shifting in those videos, my suburban tends to do poorly with shifting, that is usually where someone beats me from the line because the newer vehicles have a more consistent shift points. So how does it work, does he put the tunes on a programmer than you can change whenever a different tune is needed?
 
#12 ·
Well when you send him your money you tell him what 3 tunes you want. For example. I told him i wanted my first tune to be balls out. Which i wanted all tq managment gone and i wanted it to be the race tune when my tow haul is off i wanted it to have agressive shifting when It is on shift a lil more than stock. The 2nd tune is supposed to be the tow haul azz tune then the 3rd is for fuel economy. Then he takes the tuner and builds it to your specific mods. such as cai exhaust nos or whatever mods you have then you get it in the mail. What did you think about speed wise what do you think it is doing in the quarter and 0-60 This is just a lil 4.8 and to me I am the owner lol it is dogging that pos superchips tuner i had before.

Just by doing a rough timing i got you clocked somewhere in between 14-16, hard to say without a good stopwatch haha. I have superchips tuner for my suburban for a week and could not tell a difference at all and returned it. since then i have been trying to find a tuner that I know will improve my shiftpoints and give me some extra power, i know it wont be much power as i am looking forward to better shiftpoints for the most part.

If you go with jesse at wait4meperformance you will be happy he will give you what you want.

I emailed them today to get a price range. What kind of price did they give you?
 
#17 ·
mine was 410
 
#19 ·
if you have the hand held sct tuner I think he just emails you the tune update.
 
#20 ·
I Just sent jesse a email seeing how much it would be for my chevy with the 5.3L im getting one either way i had a hypertech on my 2001 2500 hd and i liked it i was going to order another one for my 2008 until i seen the vid on your truck and the review i think this is going to be my next one
 
#21 ·
You have a 5.3 mine is a 4.8 so yours aught to be a lot more powerful.
 
#22 ·
i cant wait to try it out to see what its like now the power might not match mine or my cousins cobalt ss/sc but im going to give it a run against his to see what it dow with this programmer when i get it
 
#23 ·
I have been getting on this truck pretty hard and my gas mileage has went from 19.66 mpg to 21.49 per mpg. I cant believe it finally a product that does what they say. Hopefully it continues to work well.
 
#24 ·
just got off the phone with jesse today and the said the tow haul azz was the fastest tune that I have so I am going to up load it today and see what it does. More review to come.

Danget, they don't make the tuner for my 96 suburban. they only do the pcm reprogramming which I was trying to avoid because it would be really nice to just have it on a tuner to switch back and forth if needed to. The tune shouldn't raise my octane level over 87 right? Did they keep your octane level at 87 with those tunes?
 
#26 ·
if that is what you want him to do that is what he will do I run 93 in my truck but i have a 87 tune also.
