Is there a good way to contact you email or phone. Family comes first 100% if you would like me to contact you later I can do that, let me know a convient time. Thanks and "knee mail" sent for your family.

Yah i would black out the road, have been riding around in my tow tune to keep from blacking out the roads lol

To the OP. I too have read, watched and researched many of the different points of view of most the tuners represented here and feel that PHP is the way to go for me. It seems all the tuners have outstanding customer service, and wonderful individuals behind the different brands; there have been plenty of posts stating as much, so that is a wash for me. From the reports from the various loyal customers of the major tuners it seems PHP can and has delivered what I am looking for; reliable predictable power for daily driving, and consistent power and EGT control while hauling or towing. To be fair, if I wanted a little more sizzle and a little less steak (not meant derogatory), I might go with DP, as they seem to give the guys with the heavy right feet what they want when they “blip” the skinny pedal. For my personal driving needs and truck use (isn’t that what it comes down to anyway) I need to haul a 3500 pound truck camper and tow a 5K pound Scout on a 2K pound trailer, and sometimes I need to do both simultaneously.

Something else to consider is where are you going to end with your mods? If you will stay basically stock and only add a high flow intake and exhaust, IMO adding anything beyond an 80-100 hp tune really has diminishing returns because the rest of the engine has not been modded to keep pace for the fuel/oil flow demands. I think beyond 80-100 hp tuner levels in a basically stock truck is just “neat to have” as far as utility goes. Again, “neat to have” is not bad; just don’t assume you are suddenly running around with a true 120-140 extra HP under your foot in an otherwise stock truck just because the dash **** “says so.”

My brothers truck is stock except for hpx and oba, and my truck is a few more little mods. Mytruck runs close to 30psi, but the other truck is a lot less throughout the rpm range.

I do feel the truck could be a lot quieter, and hopefully with the regulated return it will quiet some. I can hardly have a conversation on myphone its so loud. even stock tune before the chip it was loud though.
