6.0 tuning

I know I ask questions and I'm not to good on replys. Job keep me away from the computer. (USAF Crew Chief)

Im looking at getting some tunes from my 04. I have a set of gauges (fuel pres, tranny temp, pyro and a dash mon) straight pipe, factory intake(for now) Really, I'm looking for econo tune and light/mild street. the biggest complant with the 6.0 is the tranny. I just feel like ford never tuned it right. I really like the tow/haul setting seems to turn it into a different animal.

hopefully this dosnt open a can of tuning worms..

I love my tunes from Gearhead, I'd buy them again

Also stick with your stock intake, unless your making over 500 horses keep it stock. Your turbo will thank you

Careful how much you push it on a tune if your heads aren't studded yet. My father blew his head gaskets on his 6.0 after getting tunes. It's solid with the studs now though.
