SCT tuner

installed the SCT tuner on my 6.0 about a month ago. My question is what is the best settings to put it on weather it be just the preloaded proformance or the modification setting. What is the best setting for speed, off the line power, and for best fuel mileage.

I would recommend custom tunes-I was running the "canned tunes" and they SUCKED! I put the SRL tune in from gear heads and it doesn't even compare

The 65hp did pretty good for mileage for me and as a daily driver was not bad at all. The performance tune was pretty good as well. The street tune was king for power for caned tunes.... but they don't compare to Gearhead tunes. The truck would spin thru the first two gears with the street tune. Now, I can't get past first without the truck being sideways and have to get out of it.

That's SLR+
