Benefits from programming a '09 or '10???

as stated above I love mine. I actually have missed my tunes for a couple of days because i took the truck in to have the transmission looked at again and i turned the truck back to stock just incase the reflashed my truck. as a matter of fact i might put the tunes back in when im done with this post

I dont have any dyno's probably wont bother with that until im done with what all i want to do with the truck (headers, supercharger etc...) which might take a couple of years still.

My throttle response is MUCH!! BETTER!! then it was when it was stock. I would say i get about 1-2 miles better MPG and i run a 87 custom. I have a 91 (should be 93 octane but that was my fault) but its just to expensive to run right now. I just got tired of waiting for edge to release the CS and CTS for the 09-10 models and i couldnt be happier. Just wish i could of had these custom tunes for my 07 FX2 Sport

Just be patient.......
I'm sure after PHP's dyno days that there might be some more info.........

I just found this thread, might be what you are looking for. the Graphs are a little old, but the programming will not have changed very much if at all since the 09 was dyno'd.

Hope this helps

I see from your post that you brought the truck in to have the tranny looked at; did the XCAL3 not have any effect on the transmission issues (hunting, rough shifts, ect)?

It did help it a little but still there were some problems with the transmission. It will still shift hard from time to time(but nearly as often or as hard). Also a couple of times the truck acted like it didnt know what gear it wanted to be in. I would give it gas and the truck would just shake. Thats the main reason I took it in to have it looked at. I dont know what they did to it, i left at the dealer and picked it up after hours and just never asked what caused it but it hasnt happened since.
