Default Update to fuel mileage and a procharger

Well guys i got a new tune and can not believe the differnce. The truck is more responsive and doesnt surge in boost like it did before. And yes my fuel mileage has greatly increased. I havent made any road trips yet with it but my in town mileage has increased to 13 mpg from 11.8. I can deffently feel the differnce in power. The truck feels like it came that way from the factory. I gotta go hit the track and see what this thing will do.

Hey Sureshot you would have to ask the tuner. I did record a log with the old tune and emailed it to the tuner. Sorry cant be of much help in that area. Before when i was in boost it felt like the belt was slipping but no black dust like everyone was talking about. Now it is smooth and has a factory feel to it. It also with the first tune i would lose boost when it shifted gears then build back up and now the power feels equal across the board.

Are you running the stock exhaust? If so, you'll noticed a nice bump in low end torque and top end charge with some long tubes and a performance muffler.

A different guy did the 1st tune. The 1st tuner said my tune looked fine but it was popping and banging at hard acceleration. And yes I'm ordering some long tubes this week! Lol I smile everytime I see that A style!

I was in Italy about 3 years ago at MotoGP and a buddy told me to check out there logo. Took me a minute to figure out what I was looking at...
