My 6.7 is running the SCT X4 with Innovative (from Mike at No Limit Fabrication). I typically run the normal street or hot street tune...never the race tune. I haven't noticed any MPG gains with my truck, but I tuned for basically two main reasons...to delete everything and to have a nice sounding exhaust. I try to drive my truck responsibly so it lasts the longest amount of time without expensive repairs.

I heard Innovative had some issues with Uncle Sam though...I'd call Mike and ask what he thinks for your scenario. Or PM him at bigrpowr on here.

 

I did the same thing to mine and have preset tunes like yours, had a shop do all the work, dpf and egr delete with 4” exhaust. Question where can I find a guide to change the settings when I decide to pull my camper@?

 

Depending on your mods your MPG gains could be minor or 2-3+.

People on the streets have reported a solid 14-16 city and upwards of 20+ HWY.

 

Are you deleted or is emissions equipment still intact? We offer some nice emissions friendly custom SCT tunes for guys not wanting to delete due to smog or warranty. Shoot me a PM if you are interested and I will go over what we have available.

I haven't deleted anything yet. I'm not sure if I'm going to, still on the fence. I live in CO, so there are emissions tests, but I'm good until 2019. Do people with State required emissions just put everything back to stock then take it all apart again when done? It just seems like a PITA to me.

 

That is what you would have to do, yes. It is a PITA. That is why we are getting more and more guys in your shoes that are coming to us. The emissions laws will only continue to get more strict as time goes on. The days of DPF removal are slowly coming to an end.

 

I use an SCT Livewire TS. Just make sure you update the software and once you interface your SCT to the new 6.7 it may require some additional updates (back and forth) before you get the right tune package on the device.

I also have a set of PIP tunes. I only running the towing tune, but honestly the PIP tune was weak compared to the canned SCT tunes. I believe only SCT makes use of the transmission tuning capability whereas the PIP is only a motor tune. So the canned SCT tunes feel more powerful because they're manipulating the transmission operation in addition to the engine tune.

My bottom line; I prefer the canned SCT tunes better than the custom PIP tunes for the 6.7L platform. I honestly feel I've wasted my $$$ on the PIP tunes. I would recommend you update your device and try the SCT tunes before investing in a custom tune package.

 

can mike at no limit verify the trans tuning question? also does the PiP retain exhaust brake in tow/haul in all custom tunes?

 

at this momemt with pip tunes, the exhaust brake is compromised. 25-50% effective vs stock. we have a new tune package coming out soon that should fix that. pm me for more info .

I have Innovative tunes on my 6.7 and really like them. Either keep it in Tow or Performance tunes depending on what I’m doing. Can’t complain about the tunes one bit.

 

I had 5 Star tunes with my SCT X4, trans tuning was MUCH better than stock. I had 5 Star on my Ecoboost as well, no complaints there either. Great customer service in both instances. If I was going to do an emission complaint (non-delete) tune, I’d be taking a hard look at 5 Star. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a negative review of their tunes or service.

2015 powerstroke, does the engine brake quit working after a tune, dpf/egr and can you you use tow haul setting?

 

Some tuning companies may not know how to maintain the EB use.
Tow Haul use should not be a problem when running tuning files.

I would suggest trying either the EB or Tow Haul or them combined before loading up the hitch. That way you know the functions are working without no surprises.

 

Sounds like a plan, thank you.
