Are the HP for the tunes provide based off of factory ratings? ex. 100HP on '00 manual is 335 while the '02 manual is 375? Just comparing from those two with the software, it seems like there wouldn't be a 40hp gap between them.
I am not sure about Bill's method. I don't even rate my programs by power; they are strictly feel and drivability-designed. Although I have used an old Evolution and a program called Speed Tracer to get some baseline power numbers, I still don't denote any power numbers. I have a dyno available to me but I choose not to put a truck through that abuse.......besides, it's hard to get a better way of drivability and feel other than actually driving the truck. Maximum power numbers aren't important to some folks.

I know how the factory changed their ratings between the automatics and manuals, but most of that stuff changes with aftermarket tuning.
