Oh like a dyno tune type tune. That is cheap as hell
Pedal commander who’s got one?

Yea just without the dyno I don’t have enough done yet to justify putting it on a dyno so typically I meet him to his house about 30 min away from me and we ride up and down the highway logging and take it down the back road to test and tune and just as needed I think last time it took about a hr or two and he said if i needed anything else just to bring it back by because one of the main things we were doing is getting the Speedo right for my tire size but at the time I had 37s on and just put my 35s back on it before I left for work wensday.
Truck actually already had a pretty wicked tune in it but idle and shift points were off and we pulled some timing out of it so I can run 87. I will say even with the stock 3.73s she would just naturally blow them 37s off her and only bogged down when it shifted into second and the pedal commander made it just that much more better.
He even said damn this big ass truck gets up the road pretty good to not be geared or have nothing else done besides cold air Longtubes exhaust and that’s about it. She does have 243 heads on her and is a non dod 5.3

How do you like the tow mirrors? I need a new mirror and am considering tow mirrors, but I don't really like the way they look on tahoes..

I love them on the trucks I’ve had em on every truck I’ve had
The Tahoe yea they do look funny if I were to ever put any on the Tahoe I would definitely run the 7-13 style over the 15+ style like I got on my Silverado the lines just don’t go together imo
However what I love most about the new tow mirrors is the turn signal up front the turn signal on the mirror plus there’s a led backup light on the mirror to help at night and also act almost as a puddle light

What you want for it? I would get it off you for the Tahoe.
I get it completely if your in sport+ it’s super touchy with the tune I only use that when I’m getting on it hard most the time I keep it in sport-0
on a side note, I've heard the banks version is better for surff like that, I taps into the obd2 data and thru the app you can when you want it to change the ratio and when you don't.

Banks does a video comparing what they sell vs. Pedal Commander. Usually these types of videos are marketing w@nk, but they do a decent job comparing the two devices. It was interesting to see the hardware differences. Even if half of what they say is true, the Pedal Commander sounds like junk.
I saw that one.
there's a guy building a steering wheel sensor signal modifier, and is powering it off the 5v sensor wire. I asked him if he could power it off a 12v tap somewhere else.
it adds more voltage regulator parts, so those could fail too, but seems to me it would help overall

What would a modified steering wheel sensor do?
it's not for these trucks. but the corvettes, the steering ratio is horrible, like the most non sports car ratio ever put in a sports car.(old man things, a fast ratio scares them at high speeds) there's a few ways to quicken the ratio so you can actually drive the cars safely at high speed without a bunch of driver aids safelys on, because with the slow ratio you can't catch slides. little step out becomes a high one or a spin because you can't keep the steering ahead of the car.
but quicker ratio throws the car's driver modes all out of wack. it basically thinks the car is over steering into a corner when it's not, so it freaks out and tries to save a slide that's not happening. as it is now you have to turn all of it off every time you get in the car. which is what I do and it works but some of us wouldn't mind having traction on of its rains or we let someone else drive the car. so they are working on adjusting the steering angle sensor to march the new ratio. since no one can get into the bcm to tune them correctly.
the side effect for other guys is you also can't trail brake into corners, even in competition mode it's overly sensitive to that even in stock form. so the hope for others is to use it to dial out some of the over response to it. that way you could actually turn fast track times while still having comp mode on as a back up to save big mistakes. right now it's one or the other, it you want to actually drive it fast you gotta turn it all off and that's a big step for the casual once in a while track day guy with his corvette club.
newer systems actually worth with you, these older systems in the c5/c6 fight you every setup of the way as they were mainly a safety net, not meant to make you faster like say porsch or Ferrari.
I run one on my tuned 2013 sierra. I think the tuning guy did a crap job on the tune. Still have a pedal delay. The pedal commander is a pile of garbage but if you set it and forget it. And don't drive over 110 mph it will work fine. The banks unit is definitely better.

Glad none of these nannies were around when I used to AutoX
I have heard that abs helps a lot in auto cross but I doubt even the best comp modes could handle autocross.
I'm absolutely god awful at autocross. I can't see anything but a wall of cones. I once drove over a few during a parade lap haha. without thinking i followed some lines on the road straight into them haha.
I'm OK ish on a road course but nothing special forsure.
