Default 5.3 Tune

I will be picking up my TA from FL and driving it back to AZ. It has an SD tune and I was wondering if the change in climate and elevation will effect how the car will run and if so where to get it tuned at?

Well it shouldn't affect it if its on a SD tune since its not reading a maf.

Thanks for the info I was just unsure due to the couple thousand ft of elevation change when I finally get it there.

you will have to likely retune for the ve table to be spot on.... the gm computer is designed to run with the maf sensor and map sensor, although when properly tuned they will run any where in SD mode... its not perfect
