Does Anyone Else Notice This?
My 6.0 appears to be sliggish and have the most turbo lag when it is cold and or warming up. The closer it gets to operating temperature, the better it runs. Is there some PCM logic that does not allow the engine to perform properly until it is up to operating temperature?

you may have to get it updated. remove the tuner so it will not interfere with the programming.

Your PLATINUM juice has that feature. My older juice w/attitude does not. Eventually, I'm going to take my juice out and get an SCT tuner so I can disable the EGR valve function.
