Alpha Throttle Response
#13
I'm thinking the 5.3 V-8 is tuned very conservatively by GM to run on 87 octane and avoid warranty repairs on the Alpha Hummers ... and a bump in the timing via Superchips with higher octane petrol alleviates the throttle lag... and a better intake also helps tremendously. I'm heading in that direction... also a change in exhaust, electric fans and pulley swap. I used to have a TrailBlazer SS and these tricks turned it into a screamer... I'm expecting better performance on the H3T, too.

Titus, you don't need the Superchips Cortex unless you WANT to have the ability to tune more than 1 GM V8. If not the Superchips Flashpaq does the exact same thing but only for 1 vehicle.

I had a Cortex for my last vehicle and was very happy with the available tuning functions and the ability to clear dtc's, plus who knows maybe I'll get a G8 in the future,...thanks for the heads up though.
