Default Sitting in my truck loading my 5 star tune

All my gauges just fluttered like they took a shot of JD. Memory storage in process going for a drive in a couple minutes hopefully.

Oh ****!!! I think pirelli, Dunlop and Toyo are behind these tuners!

I have Toyo 305 at's and I was still going sideways at 40mph.

I just laid a pair of black strips for 2.5 truck lengths from a Rolling start.

Top end power not too sure the difference but the out of the hole power feels like twice the motor. Gets the blood going.

Only drove it for 5 minutes. I figured I better Stop before I get a ticket.

Also woke up the exhaust note on the Harley exhaust too.

Full details and comparisons later.

Thanks Mike at 5 start!!!

If you have an iphone you can download "Light em Up" It's a really good g-tech type app. You have to control all the variables. The wind makes a huge difference as well as the slightest change in slope. Those things don't make near as much difference in my 2003 Cobra, but the weight and the aerodynamics of these trucks will cause major swings in the readings.

You should take it to the 1/4 track and see how she does. Mine ran a 15.5@91mph.

Thanks I down loaded Dyno licious on my iphone. Couldn't get it to work all that well on my corvette.

I will try the app you mentioned.

Thx,

Wow that sure is making me want to get the tuner.Did you pull the fuse for the TC or does the tune overpower the TC so you can spin the tires.My truck wont let me no matter if the TC is on or off, but i did pull that fuse out and man what a difference.How bout some pics of some 6.2 tire smoke!Thanks

I find the difference since driving it a bit more is I believe I had it in first manually and had almost no fuel in the truck.

Traction turned off.

Doesn't spin as crazy with a full tank of gas.

Not sure how long it takes for the trans to reprogram it self again.

Once I get a moment and a nice day I am going to take some pics.
