Tuning Soon

[hatfishr]

Okay guys. This question is for all you 6.0 guys who have had a Blackbear tune installed on their truck.

 

Having my truck tuned in Pittsburgh in May, I was wondering what you guys have had Justin do to your trucks so I can get ideas of what I should have him do to mine.

 

The only upgrade I've done so far is an Airaid CAI. I'm thinking of a Magnaflow muffler later.

 

Thanks in advance.

Just tell him what you want out of the truck. He knows what to do.

From what I've read, the exhaust should be the first thing and the CAI the second. I did it in the same order as you can can tell a HUGE difference with the exhaust. I'm also meeting Justin on May 1st and can't wait to see what he can do.

I had my tune from Charlie Wheatley, but here is what I told him to do:

1. remove the 75% of the torque Mgnt & Engine Mgnt(upped the timing)

2. remove the speed limiter until 130mph

3. give me a 89 Octane Performance tune

4. I still need to tow up to 10,000lbs so it needs to still be able to work like a HD

After that he made the truck really wake up and now it runs great and has great throttle response, and flat out goes (for a 6000lbs truck!).

That's exactly what I'm looking at doing...I tow occasionally, too and I also want him to clean up the shifting and de-activate the Active Fuel Management, it's worthless here in W.Va.

 

Did you do anything else? i.e. exhaust/intake

There's been numerous posts on what many guys have tuned for. If you don't have an intake/exhaust installed at the time of the tune, just tell Justin what you are going to do in the near future and he can put an "assumption" into the tune.
