Just curios

Probably has alot to do with the life expectancy of the engine and the drivetrain.

 

Not sure exactly what you mean, could you please elaborate.

 

 

think of a turbo. yeah you can increase the psi on the turbo to crank out more power, but now since the turbo is working harder all the time it decreases the life expectancy of the turbo. think running vs walking.

 

same goes for all the other parts on the vehicle. the harder you make them work the less likely they are to last. you can get around that by engineering better parts, but now your talking more money again. there's a reason the f-150 raptor is 45 grand when you can get a basic f-150 for 20k. and if these manufacturers are going to make any money they cant be having these trucks coming in for repair work all the time during the warranty period.

 

its why you desigh the part to go just after warranty like how the big 3 use to operate .

 

Are you saying that with a tune, that you are more likely to break engine parts.

 

 

not necessarily- it depends on the tune. its not like youre tuning it to run on race fuel for 1/4 dragging all the time while towing a trailer. a proper tune will help the engine run more efficiently. now getting rid of torque management in the transmission could cause issues as there is a reason why gm puts it in there.
