Only mod is a single in dual out Flowmaster Muffler.
I also have 18 inch Center Lines with Nitto 404 275/60/18
so the numbers might be higher with a stock size
wheel and tire combination.

Got some good torque out of that tuning. If you would like ot have custom tuning done the RADIX kits can be ordered without programming. The only drawback is Magnuson won't warranty the kit if it is sold without this.

I can't even remember where my stupidchips tuner even is. I only was used to get the burb to the dyno.

The Superchips program that comes with the Radix is from one truck.
This works for some but there are differences between each vehicle.
Add in safety for the warrenty that Magna Charger offers and results
will vary from one to another. The Superchips doesn't remove TM and
turns off EGR codes but not EGR.
