Wondering what the cons of running in Ext Race as a Daily Driver? Love the ride,feel n and pure F-U it delivers, just not sure of the wear on the tranny
Im wonderin the same thing, the ex race seems to be harder on my tranny than the ex street but maybe its just the tc lock throwin me off. thanks for the help
+1 to run it as a DD tune. I do. It's a touch quirky compared to the Xstreet file, but its just the lockup that makes the difference. One thing to note is that if you take off easy and level off at 60mph or so, you have to back out of the throttle and then ease back in to it to get it to drop in to OD. IMHO it's the best DD tune I've ever run. I love rolling in to it at about 45 mph or so and the converter stays locked and it really digs and plants you in the seat!
I just installed Innovatives extreme street and race tunes. Cant wait for it to dry up and see what they will do. I have been running spartans race and street tunes. The race tune shifted too quick for me. The street tune was fine and I loved it but I just wanted to see what IDP was all about.
I too am curious as to the difference in the race and street tunes as a DD.
i ordered my sct through vivian back in the day and she next day aired it to me. when i picked the truck in the morning from the dealer it was sitting home waiting for me.
that brings back some memories of my truck when it was stockish and ran great :hehe:
Basically extreme street you have about half the throttle to kinda drive normally with great pickup. After you go beyond that half pedal it is like hittin the NOS button... With extreme race, you have about a quarter pedal, it shifts fast and will throw you in the seat. EGTs climb quick when you are in it.
I drive Extreme Street as my DD and love every minute of it. I was stock for 2 years with this truck and another 2 years on my old truck so that was 4 years and then it hit me!! Why didnt I do it earlier??? :hehe:
I ran the hot street and just switched to the extreme street. Will run for a few days then switch to extremeRace. i was running the race on the vgt and loved it. I am curious to see how it reacts to the non vgt. I too think I will end up running the extreme race as a daily.. :woot:
