One of my trucks a 12 589 mx13. We turned it to 530 hp and have had zero issues, it actually feels like it's a big truck now.
The price to turn that unit up is $550.
I can connect you with the guy who does mine remotely

Remotely updating a MX engine is not possible without pirated software so my guess is your uprate is 100% not factory software.
You will not get an MX engine HP uprate that is legit for 550. In fact 90 percent of MX engines are built at the highest HP rating from the factory and are not legally upratable without hard part changes for emissions compliance.Last Call and Diesel Dave Thank this. -

I have a 2012 589 so where are you getting they didn't make it in 12?
Why would anyone care if it was a factory tune? Does chevy make a factory tune for a 5.3 to 400hp no so why would that matter. What matters is it the tune is tested and verified, I've tested mine with over 75,000 miles with not a single issue, that's what matters. Me and my 550hp 2012 589 how dare i -
Have fun driving your deleted 589. -
I must be lost you reply to my message so what was you issue?
I thought you were saying in 2012 there were no 589, 2nd was thinking you were picking on a tune that wasn't factory.
So what exactly is the problem?
Never said deleted.
What is wrong with a tune that isn't factory?
Are you suggesting non factory tunes a inferior? -
I just don’t want these people to think it’s realistic to walk into a reputable shop and get a legit HP uprate on an MX engine on the cheap, because it’s not.pushbroom Thanks this. -
After 75,000 miles with zero problems I'd say it's a good safe tune.
I've seen so called tuners do there thing and leave a customer stranded after 5,000 - 10,000 miles with a blowed head gasket
