I tried MPT tunes, unleashed tunes, ssi tunes
They all have issues... drivability wise
My truck just does weird stuff when tuned !!
When it's stock it's great !!

I'd just leave the plugs @ .028

Too bad the tunes didn't work out for you. I've had Livernois and MPT tunes and I liked the MPT tunes better.

I was thinking of tuning my 2.7 but nah..

It's got so much low end torque already I just don't feel the need.

Supposedly the 5Star tunes, while milder, are better for drivability.

In most cases, if you go with the "OMG ALL TEH HORSEPOWERS!!!" tune, the street drivability will suffer.
