Details on your truck?

 

[forkliftman]

Basicly its whats in my sig. I'm going to sell the PPE and go with EFI Live. Johnathan @ Beans can install custom tuning on a DSP5 switch. I'm thinking of getting a economy tune, light tow, heavy tow w/turbo brake and a 500 something dyno tune :woot:and maybe a valet (aka wife can drive ) tune. :hehe: I still have the stock trans so dont want to kill it till I can build it.

 

[Goose350]

My bad. I have sigs turned off so I didnt know. You should be able to get there with custom tunes.

Not gonna pretend I know it all, but aren't you gonna be playing russian roulette with a stock trans over 5?

I'd probably at least upgrade the TC and VB before I pushed it any harder.

 

[Goose350]

I didnt want to say anything.... lol

 

[chvyrkr]

I don't mean to say it can't be done, I mean look at how long I pushed that PMR motor hard lol.

Upgrading a trans is easier than the motor though, even I have a "built" trans.

 

[Goose350]

Oh I agree. Look how long ive pushed my truck. Not hard as you do yours, but give me some slack. Its a 6.0

and even I might have a built trans. Its been acting funny the last week. Even slipped on me the other day.

 

[chvyrkr]

That's no good.

 

[Goose350]

It is what it is. Going to drive it till it dies.

Yes your right,but I'm not going to drive it on that tune all the time. Its just going to be a "dyno tune" just for kicks and giggles. I mainly want to get shift on the fly capabilities for economy and tow. I know that changing my tunes now only takes 5-6 min but when I want to do it spur of the moment I like being able to turn a switch. The stock motor is good to about 550 rwhp, I'm not going to get crazy, I don't race it or hook and pull either but I'd like to have a 500 hp DD truck, but not going to do very much till I can get the trans rebuilt.

It is what it is. Going to drive it till it dies.

That's my thoughts on it, just don't want to encourage it along.

 

[Goose350]

I'd love to have a 500hp DD, but I can't do it with just a tune :hehe: $6000-$8000 would get me there.

I have already given my trans some encouragement. 50,000+ miles all on a race tune and I am like you when it comes to switching tunes. Takes about 5 minutes. Since it takes that long I just kept the same race tune loaded. Even while towing.

How many miles are on your truck?

 

[forkliftman]

I bought it 2 yr ago with 79k on it and it just hit the century mark. Most of the time I run my PPE on lvl 3, which is 160hp. Lvl 4 is what I dyno'd on @ Beans, lvl 4 is 225. I get my best milage on lvl 3. Which consertively on a trip will be as high as 19+, around town about 17.
