I have not gotten my truck on a dyno yet, but when I do I will get a link to the Dyno sheet like master yoda White.

The sct has all of the adjustable options you need. And my Livewire does monitor, but is pricy was almost $600 with 3 custom tunes. Most people have the X-Cal3 and the scanguage II.

check em out..

I dunno, maybe they haven't learned all the tunning capabilitys of this generation truck The screen on the Xcal2 and 3 is similar to the screen on Hypertech.

Steeda is a company for some performance products...don't know of a Steeda Tune though. Where did you get the term?

custom tunes are the best by far... but its not cheap to get them... i agree with the above post, Edge has some of the best box tunes out there and they stand behind there products... Superchips is decent... but again customs tunes with the SCT are the best... return the Hypertech.... as for the TB spacer... I run them but only in conjunction with and intake and exhaust... they do nothing by themselves

Well, apparently that Steeda site also offers tunes for the programmers they sell. Don't know anything about them though. I would research them before going that direction, as with any tune writer.

Here is the link.
