Basically stock. I have a shift kit jr and 2800/3000 FTI billet stall.

Well damn that was anti-climatic. Hopefully a retune during better conditions will help

No. Stock magnuson tune. I don't think the dyno operator turned off the traction control or the stabilitrack. Plus, I'm sure it was heat soaked like a ****. That tune sucks *** though....

Gotcha. Seriously, hopefully next time will be better conditions.
Are you going to go back for a more in depth tune?
They have always been very accommodating to me when it comes to tuning and adjusting.

There was no tune, just a base line dyno pull. That was the Maggie tune. Kooks long tubes and y pipe go on next with 3.1 griptec with custom tune. That ought to wake things up a bit. I suspect the stock cats are causing problems, this truck wasn't driven much before I bought it and I think it ate some questionable fuel from the PO. The dyno operator said it was real fat even with 5.5 lbs of boost...

My bad, I just realized that after rereading your previous post.
It's going to be a completely different animal after those mods along with a tune, never mind the Maggie haha.
Sorry, I don't remember, did you get the catted Y-pipe?

Yes, with 1 3/4" collector to keep low end torque up on the long tubes..

That's a nice set up and is going to sound amazing.

Stock cats were totally fucked... You couldn't see a 360 lumen led flashlight thru them! It's unbelievable at how much of a difference it made, I'd bet it picked up over 100 rwhp with the addition of the headers, y pipe and custom exhaust from y pipe to exhaust tip. Guess I figured out what was going on with the low numbers and poor performance, it's an animal now! Plus, the sound... It's like angles singing in a choir when the charger lights off followed by the roar of the exhaust and squeal of the tires trying to hold on with little hope.
