PPEI Engine Tuning For 2006-2007 GM 6.6L LBZ Duramax

Elevate your 2006 - 2007 LBZ Duramax experience with PPEI's Engine and Transmission Calibrations. Our state-of-the-art tuning solutions are meticulously engineered to transform your vehicle into a powerhouse of efficiency and performance. Tuning is intended to increase the horsepower (hp) and torque (tq) the engine can produce. OEM manufacturers, like GM, show vehicle hp and tq based on the amount of power produced by the engine, at the engine, which is 360 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. PPEI, unlike the OEM, measures hp and tq at the wheel. What does that mean? – It means PPEI measures power that the vehicle produces to the ground showing the amount of powertrain loss from the engine, through the transmission, to the wheels. PPEI refers to this as the “baseline,” in this case, for the LBZ Duramax, we measured 315-wheel hp and 615-wheel tq. The baseline shows a powertrain loss of 45 hp and 35 lb-ft of tq. PPEI’s primary focus when tuning or creating a calibration is focusing on the overall efficiency. Many individuals search for the most horsepower & torque and view it as the “best tuning,” however, more times than not, it’s quite the opposite. Many tuners advertise tuning based on the highest hp & tq, surpassing the threshold of efficiency. When the threshold of efficiency is overpowered, issues start showing up, which can be as minor as poor fuel economy or as significant as transmission and engine failure. At PPEI, we love our performance, but we develop all calibrations around reliability, giving you peace of mind no matter the situation. Whether you’re at the dragstrip or hauling a heavy trailer across the nation, PPEI’s LBZ calibrations redefine the limits and safely go beyond the OEM’s performance. PPEI’s LBZ calibrations may produce up to an additional 200-wheel horsepower above the OEM baseline. PPEI’s LBZ performance calibration brings the overall horsepower up to 515-wheel hp and 920 lb-ft of torque. Furthermore, PPEI offers a seamless method to change between 5 different power levels (tunes).

Stock Transmissions: 2006 - 2007 LBZ Duramax trucks with stock transmission components are suggested not to exceed an additional 150 HP over stock HP. Exceeding an additional 150 HP overstock with a stock transmission WILL lead to premature transmission failure. Here are the available PPEI Engine Power Levels for the 2006 - 2007 LBZ Duramax with stock transmissions

• Level 1: +30 HP
• Level 2: +60 HP
• Level 3: +100 HP
• Level 4: +120 HP
• Level 5: +150 HP

Built Transmissions: 2006 - 2007 LBZ Duramax trucks with built transmission components are able to exceed power levels greater than 150 additional HP. Here are the available PPEI Engine Power Levels for the 2006 - 2007 LBZ Duramax with built transmission

• Level 1: +30 HP
• Level 2: +60 HP
• Level 3: +120 HP
• Level 4: +160 HP
• Level 5: +200 HP

Installation & Compatibility: Tuning for the 2006 - 2007 LBZ Duramax can be installed with EFILive Hardware and software. The following EFILive Hardware is compatible with installation
