Please don't.

The truck forums are full of posts from unhappy BullyCrap owners.

Spend a few more dollars and get custom tunes.

With regards to “Chips” and “Tuners”, years ago it was the best that most could do to enhance the ignition timing, fuel curve, transmission shift points, etc. It was (and still is) very important that a person verifies that the “Tuner” is ASE certified in both ECM and Transmission programming and IMHO be have current certification by the OEM whose vehicle you want to modify. There are plenty of persons who advertise their programs to be the best and even offer custom tunes, but in all reality, very few actually have credentials in these areas- but that’s not to say that some of these “geniuses” haven’t really caused damage to a few vehicles- just jump over to flatratetech.com and read just some of the comments from the MSE techs!. Perhaps what is equally important is the parameters that can be adjusted are set by the oem vehicle software…so there is really no “magic” in what they are doing anyway.
IMHO, if you live near any major city there are excellent tuning specialists with dynos who for the same price (if not less) will tune your vehicle taking into consideration your specific needs including environmental conditions, for your specific vehicle. IMHO, the best bang for the buck!

If you were in SoCal I could recommend a dyno shop....

Check with the locals in your area, because they are out there

Ahhhhhhhhh...my bad (sorry).

I was thinking you had a 5.0L or 6.2L.

Per a PM from Mike, SCT is working on the tunes right now.

6.7L there issues out there with spartan and hns stuff ... if you can tell him to hold off a while.. it will be right with SCT finally has it completed...
Again, sorry 'bout that.
