This is from motor trend, so there is a documented vehicle slower than yours..lol..sorry, just had to do that, I think you have something mechanically out of adjustment, possibly cam timing, fuel sync,distributer a tooth off transmission not going into 1st gear or whatever, Im just not buying you need a custom tune, especially after seeing the minimal gains from the superchips tune..

I'm going to bring this in to my mechanic tomorrow to check all of the above, minus the trans in first gear. If I manually shift, it is the same.
I already ordered the tune, I'll try to subsidize some of the money by selling the superchip after I return it to stock.

4.56 gear with 35" tires is ok.
The first thing I would do is get a hold of Hemifever or FlyinRyan and have them make you a custom tune. You most likely have a death flash tune on your stock ECM and that is what is killing all your lowend torque. Next the kegger mod takes away from low end torque. What throttle body mod did you do? Have you had your throttle body bored out to 52mm or larger?
Yes the Superchip tuner is a waste of money. You need to contact one of the guys I listed and have them write a custom tune to work with the mods you have done to your engine.
Like what you did with the bed of the truck that is nice.

False. 2000+ came factory with it. Labeled on the PCM as "software update"
