New tunes

Ok,

Had some work done to the 6L, thinkin I need some new tunes, or upgraded,

Work done:

Heads studded, 18 mm gaskets, RCD 90hp injector upgrade, new water pump steel impeller, blue spring kit, 6.4 banjo bolt kit, oil cooler changed, coolant filter kit, mbrp turbo back,

Upcoming changes, air flow (currently stock), 65 or 68 Vgt garret turbo,

Any ideas? I do tow, I do drive lots of miles, I like to play,

I am currently only getting 13-14 mpg,

Thanx,

Since you are now studded could do SRL Extreme.

You definiatly need new tunes if you didn't have the computer adjusted for the larger injectors. I am running the Looney WIld tune from vivian at Quick Tricks and couldn't be happier. Stupid fast.

As far as a turbo goes I would go for a powermax if you want to remain the versatility of the 6.0.

Just my .02.....


But definiatly get a new tune on there with those new injectors. and don't tow with a hp tune only a tow tune. found that out the hard way.
