tuning!

harsh driveline angels, big tires, steep gears and sloppy stalls are going to take their toll.

17.5 is pretty lean, correct me if I'm wrong...

that could easily be why you didn't make the power you were expecting. also, what kind of dyno was it?

yeah. im surprised you didn't overheat on the dyno. did you mean to type like 15.7, cuz that's more reasonable but still a little lean.

13.1 should be a good number for your truck. there's something whack about your tune I guess. who tuned it?
