I am between a rock and a hard place. I like Banks because they have been around the longest but I feel like you pay for the name not the product. And I like SCT because of the changes to the trans and the hp but they are a fairly small company compared to Banks. I know that there is going to be pros and cons on every tuner, but just wanted others opinions. Thanks.
Do you do custom tunes or do you know of someone that does. I am also a member of The Diesel Stop but everybody goes to the same guy, so they are biased.
no i dont do the tuning myself but i am running two different tunner's tunes
dj's and innovatives, and i can honestly tell you they are awesome to run. this site also has elite which i havent personally run but have heard good things.
Yea innovative in on The Diesel Stop. I've never heard of the other. But if you had to make a choice whitch would you choose. I am visiting Cal. till July so I wish somebody around here did custom tunes so I could work out the problems before I leave. If you know of anybody let me know.
I was not aware that you could use multiple peoples tunes together. Your signiture says 403 hp to the ground is that at the strongest setting? I am going to try and get 500 to the ground.
man its hard to say as far whos betterin tuning cause they are both so close. and fast as hell
you can have the custom tunning done from anywhere in the world
(just incase you dont know)
when you get yur xcal2 in the mail, you plug it up to yur truck and get yur strategy out of the computer, send that number to the tuner, they will custom write a tune for YOUR truck and email it to you , upload that into yur xcal and load it in yur rig, and if its not right email em and they will correct it, adjust it, tweak it to yur liking, that how DJ's does it i know
what tunes from dj do you have. I went and looked at all of there tunes but it did not say any hp gains for the tunes, I am also intrested in the tow w/ jake brake.
I was going to get Banks stuff until I joined this website. Which they changed my mind when I saw what the SCT can do vs. the six guns. This is what my tunes from innovative did for my truck, keep in mind this is only SCT, mbrp striaght pipe, and stock intake
XTREME STREET
367.1hp @ 2982rpm/70.2mph
908.2ft/lbs @ 1986rpm/47.8mph
My run was with my Race tune from Doug. At the time I had a stock (well used filter) intake and my clutch was slipping badly so I couldn't get full power to the rollers.
IMO banks is way over priced crap, If any of you get petersons 4 wheel and off road read this months issue and gale banks opinion on ulsd it basically states the exact opposite of everything all of us have been saying about it
He claims horsepower gains with it over the old LSD but then it also says he is tuning specifically for it now
