Default Getting a tune on the BEAST

I ordered a tune from Delta Force Tuning out of Florida last week and it just came in. Installing it on Friday so I will let you guys know how it turns out. It's supposed to add around 40-50 HP so we will see.

I got it put on today and it runs beautifully! Lowered my RPMs down to around 1600 at 70mph and 1800 at 80mph. It's got some damn pep in it's step for havin a lift and 35s. Gets up and goes from a dead stop. I'm really impressed on the outcome and it's really user friendly to get it set up. One product can be done on 2 different trucks so that's a plus if you wanna split it with a friend. It cost $360 on eBay with free shipping.

40-50 hp is a far stretch. You're probably in the range of 10-15 hp with better shifting. Welcome to the world of tuning.

Yeah, I highly doubt it gave me anywhere near 50hp but I sure can tell a big difference off the line. You can do SO many things with this tune, it's insane.
