Awesome! That will be fun. You will gain 56hp and 110lbft torque on tow tune. I could be wrong😁. You will have more power everywhere. Easier taking off and climbing hills. Depending on the miles, the trans could have issues on a hot tune, but if you don't abuse it and let it re learn you might be ok.

 

I installed a PI of NH billet converter that I got from CNCFab when I installed my KDD long block. I run KC stage 1 with 175/30’s on the WD street tune daily, even when towing, and my transmission handles it just fine. I think you will be ok.

I was just scrolling down to suggest a upgraded converter

 

Well....got the new turbo and injectors installed over the weekend.

A couple of things I've noticed right off the bat.....

1. That Stage 1 Jetfire 10blade turbo isn't as loud as I would have thought at idle...not much louder than my stock turbo. It screams once you get on the throttle thought.

2. The motor requires much less boost now while just cruising down the highway at 70mph....around 5psi where with the stock turbo it was around 10psi. The MPG display on the dash shows around 28mpg while cruising at 70mph on the highway....I'm sure that can't be right. I will have to run the numbers when I fill up next.

3. Overall, the truck seems to make quite a bit more power. There is just a slight bit of lag from the turbo, but not enough to hardly notice it.

4. When off the gas and just coasting to a stop, the truck goes into this really choppy high idle, and then when you are rolling to a stop, it smooths out and sounds normal. I read that it's pretty common with the 155/30 injectors where they plug the dump ports on the injector? I've reached out to Innovative to see if there is something they can change on the tune to smooth it out.

Overall I'm pretty happy with things.....I'm excited to pull my camper soon and see how it does.

It's not. Jokingly, I made a similar comment about 10 years ago. The reality is the truck doesn't measure fuel flow against speed or distance, so the nozzles will have a significant affect on what you see on the dash. Normally, with 30% over nozzles the reading isn't that high, but the tune may use false numbers that would further skew the ECU computation of dash mpg.

The plugged ports will create a more choppy idle.
