How much did the swap run you?

I think it was around $1200 for the gears, a locker, and labor.

Well for awhile now I've been talking to Brett at xpracing okc, to get the truck tuned. He promised more power over my handheld Diablosport, and much better et's. Took the truck to him and had it tuned last week, and let's say it was a major let down. Truck before dynotune was running 16.0, last night I ran a best of 17.2. Every since he tuned it my truck sounds like it has a vacuum under the hood, and it shifts waaaaay earlier. But looking at the dynographs the shift points seem correct. What's the deal? I don't think he messed with the pe tables or anything. Idk 300$ for a dynotune that sucks, when I have a 200$ Diablosport that blows his tune out of the water. I guess I'll be taking it back to him and/or getting my money back...

Damn, talk about a kick in the nuts. Hope you get it sorted out soon. 1.2 second loss in ET is a lot. How did the 60 foot times and weather compare to the time you ran 16.0?

It was about 5* warmer, but it was night time still. 60' is about .2-.3 seconds slower. It really pisses me off that a highly rated tuner can't out tune my Diablosport lol. If he can't make it faster than a 16 then I'll just go back to the handheld.
