SCT tuner after engine work w\ no studs
I had quite a bit of top-end work done including an EGR delete and MBRP 4" turbo back kitty-delete exhaust system. I picked up an SCT 3015 tuner to shut off the 'check engine' light. My question is, without head studs what SCT canned tune is relatively safe for every day street driving and what is good for heavy towing? I pull a 14k fifth wheel during the summer and would like to be safe, yet have a little more low and mid range grunt. I have ScanGauge, so I'm watching my boost when accelerating. I do not want to lift my heads. On this board some guys mention custom tunes written by several techs. Which is recommended and what would ya'll use if this were your ride? Thanks in advance, Mike

I have stock bolts, I have egr delete, no cats or mufflers into dual 5" stacks, afe intake, and an sct sf3 on whatever the top setting is, and mine runs fine. also got an atlas 40 ficm on the way from ficmrepair, so hopefully she will still hold up until i get the time to do the studs.

Wifey with a ton of patience
I dont have a SCT but I do run an Edge CS Programmer along with a full MBRP 4" Dual Exhaust (no kitty), S&B Cold-Air Box, Banks High-Ram Intake & the Blue-Spring Upgrade all the time on the 60 hp Tow Tune with Stock Head-Bolts for 2.5 years now w/NO issues & I pull a 31' 5th-Wheel
P.S...My Boost doesn't appear to go over 28/29 lbs & ive read the Stock TTY's can stretch @ 32 lbs
