There are several SCT dealers out there that make some awesome tunes. You can get just about anything you want from mpg to JET. Even running an extreme tune a PROPERLY tuned truck will get some really good fuel mileage AND have low EGT's. There are some strategy's that make more power than others. 03/04 trucks make more topend than the 05/06 trucks. conversly the later models make more bottom end power--it's just a little difference in the turbo's. and the 03's make the most. There's just too doggone many variables for each truck--even those with identical strategies, turbo's, exhausts. SCT is the most tuneable and if done correctly the safest of them all. I know someone running 275 injectors (stockers are 130) and got 27mpg hand calculated---running 70mph and it was a 4wd. PM me if you're interested and I'll send you to some folks than can hook you up.

You spun all four tires for a couple feet and still achieved 60mph in 6.3 seconds? Your G-Tech might need some checking...

Less than a minute to trade out tunes if that is what ur asking. Might take another 20 sec's if you are changing paramiters like gears, tires, shift point, presure points, etc.

Chris,

It is a small computer that only plugs into your cigarette lighter and will measure performance on any vehicle. Check out the link for more info.

Latest Tow Tune . . .

I think the latest SCt Xcal 2 tow tune is called Aggressive Tow, the one that allows a Jake brake programed in too.

Drop them an e-mail to discuss if you like . . .
