Mike,

thanks for the support of this great place.

I do not have my V10 truck yet, but do plan to buy one very soon.
As in the next 2 or 3 weeks soon.

So I to will have a look at your products then.
I must admit I have not heard of them before.
I have an edge on my current 5.4 engine, and if your tuner helps like it does I will be a smiling guy.

Cheers

thanks JKBrad & Saleenguy ; I appreciate the opportunity.

I think you would be very pleased with results of a tuned V10.

I am hoping to not have a truck that breaks me in gas costs, and yet will haul and tow well.

So maybe I want the impossible, but don't think so.

I assume your tuner has a setting for good fuel economy when just cruising the HWY with a light load, or no load, and then another for pulling hard.

Your correct...econo tunes are written for economy....you could still tow in those tunes. I would not expected no more than 1-2 mpg gains and that depends on a lot of varibles...

If I gain 1 mpg on the HWY, over the life of the truck, thats a lot of fuel saved.

I am a realist, and know that a F350 4x4 supercrew cab, long box 4x4 is not going to be easy on gas.

Thats why even a slight gain is great.

Any idea what a stock V10 can gain for HP and torque with your tuner in tow mode?

Awsome choice Mike. With the tunning aspect down pat for the V-10's.
All we need now are headers designed for more TQ (aka proper length and dimension along with a proprerly sized exhaust system once again length and dimension) and intakes tuned for higher rpm peak HP (more consistant CSA alone will show major results but a cute little taper or 7% couldn't hurt as well)will see what the future holds

Once again Thank you for your services Mike.

Hi Skoda
Hope all is well..Glad you mentioned intakes (cold air that is ) , It looks like we could be a dealer for 2 types of intakes. We are evaluating different makes now. They are installed on our trucks first, if they make it past fit and function only then will they be for sale with or with out tunes.....

Ps You know Autocad, We might need your assistances on headers...LOL..
You know, You make it we tune for them

Mike

Mike I get it though I might not be able to help you with AutoCad. I can offer a firm hand in the right direction for exhaust tunning. Only thing I need is your dyno results for the 3v, and the cams specs.

On the matter of developement, I'd recomend you look into V-10 intakes it's self, the market is wide open and so are the gains but you didn't hear it from me

Heck even putting a smaller TB might yeild some some higher Tq numbersjust depends on the intakes tunning and inertia.

Those cold air intakes sounds like a fun project, are they showing promising results hp/$ ? if you can realse any info at what rpm's are gains seen at? and with a what tune?
you have a ball park cost for the kit?
