Well we just use 87 octane all the time no matter what. Towing or whatever. Do you know if maybe I could just email mike or is he possibly a FTE member? It is alot easier to email right now with how busy I am. Plus it would be a while till we actually got it. Is the X3 power flash SCT tuner good for what I want?
Trav

 

definately e-mail him, and yes he's member here, and a forum sponsor!! start asking him some questions and tell him your concerns, he will get you on the right path

 

Do you know his username?
Edit: Never mind I found it thanks for your help I will update you all with what Mike says.

thanks for all your help guys this is the tuner we will be going with and price "Pricing for X3's custom tuned are $429.00 plus $6 to $9 shipping to lower 48 states." that is according to Mike. Thats the one we would like to go with but will be a while before we get it with the money situtation. thanks everybody for your responses.

Your on the right path Trav. It is still the best mod I've done to my truck. And better yet a top notch co. to do business with. Order that tuner and 3 days later you could be pullin that redneck high rise down like nothing.

 

Well Jason already we could pull that redneck highrise down like nothing I think it would just help. I just got to have my dad save up some money to get it might take a while but we will get it.

Absolute truth! Mike is AWESOME to deal with and his tune really uncorked my V10! An added bonus is the improved MPG, which will pay for the tuner.

 

hi thanks guys, i tried to rep you guys but i am in time out still
Happy Va10'in

 

I had a chevy half ton in 02. Bought a Hypertech tuner and returned it because it didnt really do anything. Ive had a 7.3 and a 6.0 diesel since. Tuners worked wonders. Now I have a V 10. Want to tune it but can you really tell a difference? Ive always heard with gassers it really doesnt make much difference, and with the Hypertech and Chevy that was my experience

 

I could tell right from the start. My 09' is on 37's, and the performance and mpg's gains were very noticeable. I'm very happy!

 

Ok I found out somthing a few days ago that might be the answer as to why the truck does so good. The last owner told me the truck has been chipped with something else for it to do that. I had no idea. I forgot the name of the chip maybe if you start saying names it will pop back up but I am afraid now it might mess with the chip.
Trav

 

would that be a chip that is plugged in some where or tuned using a tuner?

 

It must be one that is plugged in sowhere because we sure don't have a tuner in the truck. Its wierd.
Trav

 

See my post above, I can testify for Mike @ 5 Star.


Tuners like SCT only plug in to load the tune, then unplug. My SCT tuner is locked in my gun safe.

 

Hmm I don't know then. My dad is just leary about messing with the truck now knowing about that.
