Hey folks, I’m looking to enhance the performance of my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado with the 5.3L engine, and I’m considering getting a performance tuner.
I’ve done a bit of research, but there are so many options out there that it’s hard to figure out which one would be the best fit for my specific needs. Here are a few things I’m hoping to achieve with a tuner:
Increased horsepower and torque: I want to get a bit more power out of my truck, especially for towing and hauling.
Better fuel efficiency: It would be great if I could see some improvement in my gas mileage, especially since I do a lot of driving.
Tuning flexibility: I’m interested in a tuner that allows for easy adjustments and custom tuning options as I modify my vehicle further down the line.
A few tuners I’ve come across:
DiabloSport inTune i3: Seems to have good reviews, but I wonder if it really delivers on its promises.
Hypertech Max Energy: I’ve seen some folks mention this one, but I’m curious about any real-world performance changes.
Edge Evolution CTS3: This one looks feature-rich, but is it worth the extra bucks?
Questions:
Which tuner do you all think offers the best value and performance?
Are there any specific brands that have worked well for your 2015 Silverado 5.3?
Any real-world experiences with the tuners mentioned above?
I’m eager to hear your thoughts and experiences! Thanks in advance for your help!

Well, at least you won’t end up with a trainer that makes your truck taste like vanilla! Seriously though, maybe start with SCT for a balance of ease and performance.
For the 2015 Silverado 5.3, I’ve had great success with the Hypertech Max Energy tuner. It’s user-friendly, and the installation is straightforward. Just be sure to have your battery fully charged before you start!
