I got a whole new Excursion!

WOW! I I just installed the SCT Livewire tunes on the Excursion and whoa! This thing is insane! You V-10 guys I bet you can't do that with your SCT gasser tunes! My Ex takes off so fast it almost scares the crap outta me and catches me off guard! Well after reading all of the V10 vs. Diesel threads, sorry V10ers your trucks don't hold a candle to an SCT tuned Diesel! A truck this size just shouldn't go like this? I have read thread after thread about how this engine wakes up with tunes and always thought people exaggerated a little bit. Nope, you SCT tuned Diesel guys were all right........

What type of tune is it? How much hp/tq gain? Is it safe?

I like the Livewire, I mounted it below the radio down by the cubby hole. Didn't like it suction cupped to the windshield in the direct sun here in AZ. The gauges work great, gotta figure out how to get EOT's though. I just loaded the Innovative Extreme street today and it is a very nice tune. It is real smooth and shift nice and firm! Definitely money well spent! It's nice to have all the mods done to my 6.0 now so I don't have to dread it breaking down because I have tunes on it!

Scottman, I've heard that SCT was having trouble with the screen turning blue and it seems they've fixed those problems. Guess I will upgrade soon so that I have my gauges.
