Man those stock tune curves are choppy as all get out. Looks like you had an earthquake on those runs. Very good torque at low rpms, I like.

I like this graph also.\/ \/ \/ Notice as fuel is added power increases. Very good info.

Seems like I remember telling everybody that same thing. There's a load of power to be gained with a good tune on the V10's. Much more than any crappy CAI or catback noisemaker will get you.

Your welcome. I like the earthquake thought dkf. Actually you can feel the truck starving for fuel and WOT in stock form. Maybe some can't but my butt dyno can even feel it.

I noticed the same thing on mine, and I attributed it to the restrictive non-pi heads/intake.

Good to hear there is a little hope until I swap the engine. I will be in touch with you for sure Mike.

So, is the Y pipe worth it on a 99 model? Correct me if I am wrong but the charts I looked at show 6hp at best? Can some one show me the 10-15hp gain? Is it at a different rpm other than peak?

I think its worth it in tuned form only. (10-15 hp & Tq to the ground). 10 hp & 15 tq to the ground. Depending on RPM range truck is in. From 2750 RPM and up to 4000 RPMs is best gains and is working range for a V10. To complement the ypipe a set of headers, intake and free flowing muffler would help as well. How much is the question?
For $95 bucks I like this ypipe mod..

Actually everything you just listed is what I want a tune for. I'm having Doug Thorley headers put on next week that come with a y pipe, have a Flowmaster 40 muffler and a K&N filter. Expect a call from me Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks for the dyno runs Mike! Everyday I come closer to getting a custom tune from you but I want to dyno my truck. I may be in the Beaufort, SC with it this summer so....

Here's something you guys haven't brought up.

The eBay guy claims 33HP(!) with just the Y-pipe. He's obviously full of shee-it. Why anyone would want to continue to support his business now is beyond me.

Not bashing by no means, I would want to see a before and after of the 33hp increase. The type of dyno matters as well along with many other variations. After installing this ypipe and driving , I like it . Its a solid mod for anyone wanting a free'er flow reving engine that does not feel constricted.

Correct me if I'm wrong.. That quote is for the T-pipe, the 99 & mid 00 have a rams horn y-pipe, still restrictive but not as bad, this is why we have been waiting for the dyno results for the 99
