100% what this guy says. I like tuning the GM ECU's, but am a novice at best. What I've seen of the Term X and Dom X are that they are way easier, with a bunch of features. I just like having as much factory stuff as I can possibly have living in the middle of no where.



And yes, a close to stock 5.3 (even the summit stage 1 or stage 2 turbo cams will make a big power difference, with minimal change to drivability) with a moderately sized turbo at 10lbs will be quiet, mild, and easy driving. And will be able to boil the tires at pretty much whatever prudent speed you're interested in.
