Your tune is probably netting you what. 150hp? while his is probably 200-300hp.

Efi Live custome tuning makes a WORLD of difference compared to a mail order or handheld.
I should be in the 540-550 rwhp range with 1000-1100 rwtq at this point. Looking for a dyno now to run it on. I couldn't tell if he was kidding or not, but it's easy to get these trucks in the 13's. 12's takes a bit more work (mostly supporting stuff like the trans and converter to handle the extra power/torque). Adding the power in the tune is the easy part.

And yes, the little +60 or +80 hp tow tunes are quite different than what I'm running. With the datalogger in the Efi Live I've done 40-50 0 to 100 mph runs on a derserted back road by my house, so I knew it went from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, 0 to 100 mph in 11 seconds flat, and 12.60 seconds to get to 107 mph; from that I was pretty sure it would run 12's, but had to actually do it to be positive.

That is beyond awesome! That could possibly be world's greatest, most functional sleeper. Dunno if I'm hijacking here, but will that thing still get decent fuel mileage? I'm thinking of getting a diesel soon, and if it could be made fast and frugal, the world will be a happy place.

I actually get better mileage than stock if I drive decently. The worst I've averaged is about 14.5, and that was with a lot of wot tuning involved. It normally gets around 16 mpg in mixed driving, and 19-20+ with freeway only, depending on speed.
