well... tuned it.... and when i got to work it kept dying... .. it would start up.. and when i went to drop it in gear it would dye out ....like the transmission would kill it out... so i tried a few different tunes and they all did that... so i wrote a new tune with no transmission changes left them all stock... i will try that later

Man, if this was me when i get my Sniper in, I would be tuning one thing at a time, not trying to tweak the whole truck, engine, tranny, etc. but man, if you got experience and can do that, . I'm no tuner. My buddy w/ the Motec talks tuning to me and its like . Haha. keep me posted. Mine will be in at the end of the month.

How fine of an rpm band can you tune in? Can you set/change every 100 rpms, every 250? 500? Just wondering how's it coming since I am lookin into getting this set up soon. Thanks!
