Just bought an 02 2500HD with a 6.0 and 4.10 gears. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to wake this motor up?

I have a new 2010 w/6.0.... I just did a Diablo tune last weekend and customized the fuel and spark tables for 93 fuel, cold air box, made a NICE difference, fuel mileage seems better too... very happy with it so far,,,

How far you want to go?
Hot Rod magazine is ALWAYS showing a TON of LS powerplants with new this or that and HUGE HP #s...this month shows "basic" building tips comparing old school SBC to newer LS. Some 6.0 bottom ends have produce over 1,000 horse in different projects and rides they have shown.I had a 2001 2500HD with the 6.0, even though it got bought back as a lemon, I was impressed by the motor to say the least. For a "small block" VERY impressed. Good Luck, enjoy the fun!

just ordered a custom tune from wait4me perfromace in Indiana. Justin never got back to me. They clain 20-30 HP more, adjusting shift points, and more torque. I think this is a good starting point for $163.00 and i can keep the core. My next step will be cold air intake and exhaust.

wow,,,, thats strange,,,,its usually late, but he always answers.
Im sure you will notice improvement as I have heard good things about wait for me as well.
What I liked about Justin is he sent me a cable to plug into a laptop and drive around so he had the exact parameters of my truck,,,, just a lil bonus.

obnoxus, that is cool! that is actually what i wanted. but after talking to wiat for me they made me feel comfortable after talking to them and for what it cost, i have nothing to lose.

I agree,,,, and I have a sneaky suspicion that most of the gains are from removing the torque management.
Make sure you post the results !!!!

NO JOKE with the new tune from wait 4 me i can smoke the tires of this truck - unbelievble power and peformance. I just put it in today, my check engine light is on which has me concerened BUT i was told to take to dealer within a week and have a case relearn done. and i can not feel the differnece when the truck is in tow haul mode anymore.

Yup,,,,do a case relearn and the light will go off,,,,,will run a little better as well

well after i had the case relearn done i have noticed the truck is getting 13-14 mpg on average as before it was 10-11. not towing the truck is a blast to drive, the power is alot better and a lot smoother. towing the truck is no faster up the hills but the rpm's are a lot lower... example there is a steep hill between my house and the ramp before the truck was 5200 rpms at 45 mph now its 3300 rpms at 45 mph which has kept the trans. a lot cooler! I wish it could pull the hill at 55 like my dodge (5.7 hemi) did but all in all i am very happy and it was a great investment for $163.00.

6.0 is an LS motor,, there isnt a better engine for hot rodding out there.
There are guys running 1000+ hp in daily drivers running pump gas...
