I am more than happy with the power and the towing capability of my new 07 and I have decided I am not going to run a tuner of any kind. I just want this truck to last. Besides, when I need my HP rush I got my 450hp LS1 powered sandrail

I am just back from the dealership and they required me to remove my Banks Six Gun before they worked on it (repairing an oil leak).

I have it back and have been driving it and my life doesn't seem like it is over. Maybe there is life after a tuner...

I actually like the new flash BTH put in my truck today. It's well mannered, doesn't smoke too much (sometimes not enough), no noticible turbo lag and no turbo surge (A/M turbo). It has good power for a factory flash and decent shifting. It won't stay stock, but It is a good flash.

Great advice as I have also gone back to stock .Have a super chips and had it on power all the time,except when towing,found I got better mpg without tuner even when in tow safe mode.Only issue I have is that my mpg goes way up in power mode,but so hard to keep foot out of it.
