me personally no, I've never owned a duramax. All my local friends had duramaxtuner ecm's until they had a ride in my brothers truck. I've driven plenty of trucks with nicks tuning and I dont want to get in a pissing match with anyone. A good friend of mines truck pops when reved shifting is sloppy. When you ask questions and them saying "nothing is wrong" and quits responding to calls is a red flag.
Not everyone has the same experience this I know, but have no problem voicing my opinion sending someone whos a better tuner (in my eyes) the business.
hope this clarifies some things for you... you couldn't pay me to run his tuning after what i've witnessed if i have a 6.6l .
FYI starlite diesel knows their way around efi live so i would be confident in them

Thank you for solidifying my previous post. People want to hear from those who have FIRST hand experience. Not a guy whose brother ran something one time that was better then so and so but there's no proof to back that up other then my mouth.

I cant even tell you, i know of at least 6 or 7 i know of that are just friends not counting his customers, his personal truck put down 657HP and 1184 Torque - uncorrected @ 4300 ft. elevation (gillete diesels dyno) and runs 12.0 consistently and another friend of mines put down 945hp with his tuning, hes gettin a pretty good rep
i woud say so lol went to sema with him and the owner/creator of efi live was there and knew him.. also he held a class for training on efi live at industrial injection a month or two back
Hey man think what you want, you have no clue what i've experienced and Ill leave it at that. All I know is I wont run tunes built by pink slippers :thumbup:
I do a little EFI live tuning, I wouldnt consider close to pro though, only local trucks. I have ran tunes by Rob Coddens, Nick@duramaxtuner and Guy@Socal. In my opinion all great tuners. I loved Robs the most and he always has great customer service. Nick and Guy's was a very close second though!! I would be happy with any of theirs. I would go with an Edge Evo CS/CTS or PPE or ATS E-power (same module, different tuning) PPE tunes are nice, Timing and Torque injection and throttle injection tables are alot smoother than say diablosport and quadzilla

I personally run diesel addiction tuning. He has great customer service and tuning is awesome. He has tuned my truck to run 12.35@108 on stock turbo injectors and cp3. I first sent my ecm to him he tuned it. After I built the trans he emails me tunes and they are great. Tony has good tunes but u will pay twice as much then anyone else tunes. Rob's tuning is great but from a few buddys I know that have his tuning unless you are a big named racer he customer service is poor. I have heard good things about.nick too. Just go efi live u won't regret it

what PPE are we recommending for stock trans. standard, hot, or hot+2... like i said he just needs it to tow and for MPG's.. and i want it to be safe.
If he doesnt ever plan on going any further than towing and MPG I would recommend the standard. If he ever wants to go any further and get a built trans I would say It would be time to sell the standard and go with EFI live, for a much more quality tune at half the price!

great answer! thanks. i highly doubt he'll go farther. but if he does get serious about performance we'll def go to EFI

If he doesnt have acces to a computer and just wants MPG and towing capabilities I would just go with the xcelerator standard which includes tunes up to 225hp. Anything more than that and you will be needing a built trans. My buddy has a 07 Duramax and before goin to efi live he had a PPE and on his stock trans i think he ran a 14.0 in the 1/4.
I have a friend who did 14.0 all stock with just a Diablo sport tune - CC/SB 4x4

IIRC he was only running in 2wd cause he was afraid of breaking a tie rod. Could be wrong tho.

im going with a PPE, idk if yall are still trying to convince me on track times-or if you're just discussing. but like i said. he doesnt care about power.
i dont care if we make a discussion out of others. thatll be cool to hear a little more about what setups do what on those trucks. just saying where the thread was geared towards

The same friend had a PPE for a month......he said they make crazy power and when he set it too high it would suck his fuel rail empty.
A good tuner if your going to go farther than just the basic mods.
