dp tuner question
well i hear of everyone say they can burn there tires in 80 econ and roast them in 120 race. Well today i hammered on my truck for a stop in 80 no tire spin and than went to 120 race and still didnt get NO tire spin. Im running 285s, would this be the chip or something else messing up.
thanks for the help

Mebbe you just got good tires . . . I dont spin either. I dont really try to, but I've romped on it and it just doesnt. Which is fine. They're too expensive to go grinding them up. I just said the other day though, weight, tires, a LS or locker, gearing, that can all play a role.
How's it drive? Thats your litmus test.

Put your left foot on the brake and build some boost, let off the brake and MASH the little pedal.
I can't spin them off the line without using a little brake. They do bark a little shifting to second. HTH.

If you need a stock turbo, I have one in good shape for a fair price, I felt like spending money and bought the Garrett GTP38R for my truck..

i made a boost leak detector ..its in my gallery and in my exploded vew of a 7.3 link in my sig..20 bucks in parts from lows...or you can buy this...http://www.dieselsite.com/index.asp?...ROD&ProdID=607
only other way is too take all the boots off..clean all the ends of the IC pipes..wash all boots in dawn dish soap..look close for cracks and pin holes..then put it back together making sure all clamps are clean...
