04 z71 tuner, programmer, or chip?
I need to get some low end torque.. My chevy has a bad o2 sensor and idk if that's causing my problem but its terrible how bad it bogs on the low end.. No torque. Doesn't even ATTEMPT to spin the tires.. Im fixing the o2 sensor today and hopefully that helps a bit. But I been reading about torque management and blah blah what's the best route a programmer chip or tuner.. Please respond with your input on the low torque if you have any or about chips and stuff.. Prices and brands please

did you replace the o2 sensor? and are you running bigger tires? or stock tires? if they're bigger that'll hurt low end big time. the only good way to get low end torque back is gears and a tune, not a programmer but a custom tune

so everything is stock? go to blackbearperformance.com or gowheatley.com. tell them what you want it to do and they'll recommend a few things for you and they'll tell you how they can do it...but before you do get te tune do you want to do any other mods to it? intake, headers, exhaust? also do you know if it's the 4 speed or the 6 speed transmission?

I appreciatw the replies man.. Yes its all stock im about to put a volant cai on it.. Thinking of desxreening my MAF sensor bc it can't make that much of a difference and 400 for one is crazy.. And its a 4 speed they didn't make the 6 speed optional until 2009 I believe

the intake will help...don't DES teen your maf...it outflows your motor up to like 500 HP so your good there. I'd suggest the intake, longtube headers, and an exhaust...put a vette servo in it to for shiftin

Whete would I find that servo and is it a bolt on type mod?.. I thought you could adjust shift points with sone of t these tunes? So what exactly does a vette servo do? ... One of my buddies has a tundra and ots stupid fast.. He could outrun my chevy pullin.a trailer.. Im trying to stop that noise

lol the new tundra? yeah they're fast. if you have a 2wd you can do these things to out run it I'd think.
yes the servo is a bolt in type mod...if you can change your oil you can do the servo, took me 30 min with a break. and yes you can adjust shift points with a tune but the servo makes your shifts faster and firmer with more power in 2nd gear
