    Westers best choice for 5.3 with some mods?


    Support FSC and see no ads! - Click Here
    I have a 99' silverado RCLB 5.3 Auto 3.73 with a 2.5" 40 series flowmaster cat back system and a MAC cold air intake. Future plans include a set of shorty headers and trans mods (Yank convertor, and mods to beef it up). I want to run 87 octane and want to eliminate some Torque Management. Is westers the best option for me? Also...will this combo get me into the 14's I haven't baselined it yet but the truck already feels very strong. Also, I haven't gotten into doing any FREE mods. !st on the list is descreen MAF....any others? Thanks guys

    Don't descreen the MAF.

    I have the Westers tune and love it. But as GMCJoe said you may want to do some price comparision. I didn't find this site until after I had gotten my tune done. Also as Nick said don't do the descreen or even replace the MAF with another. Have seen way to many people with bad stories about errors or no improvement.

    Have a great day.
