...and WOW.
A little idea of what foundation I have on the truck. DDP 120's, PPE dual fuelers, airdog 150, arp 625's, TRE full transmission, Hamilton cams 110# valve springs and severe duty pushrods, 2nd gen manifold and BAtmowheel 66 billet wheel, 5" exhuast with a 51" donaldson muffler. My truck is a 4x4, 4.10's and a dually. I tow and dd this truck so i wanted the best of both worlds.
After setting an appointment we met up and went to the dyno. Now I wanted a baseline hp figure. My truck was dirty, high egt's, LOTS of smoke. I had a 100hp tune that came as mail order if you want to call it from another tuner. Now this tuner did make the tune for a stock truck, mine is far from that so I can't entirely blame them for the drivability issues.
We hit the rollers, Rich then started. My issue initially was the lack of a lock up switch so he had to start up in the rpm range. Truck put down 499hp and 633 ft Ibs, disgusting. He looked at the graph and loaded his tune, fine tuned some things, shut off some eliminators etc etc that he did that i don't understand :bang but we hit the rollers again. Mid 500's and 1000 torque. He tuned and rolled and you could see he was like an analyst, studying the graphs and the dyno chart, tweeking here and there.
Our last dyno run I hit 649.8 hp and 1128 foot pounds. The addition of the lock up switch would have netted me mid 1300's according to rich but we will go off what the dyno said.
The holdback I had for power is now I need more air. S480 with a racecover under the 66 is in the works. Should be in the 800hp range hopefully.
Drivability, WOW. A lot cleaner down low and floor it, hold the eff on. I called later and told him, 65mph ass swinging is rather interesting. It's crazy the power and the drivability all in one. Best part, on the 4.5 hour drive home i got 20.8 mpg from 14 mpg.
So, if you are on the edge about efi live and smarty, ditch the smarty, get efi live and have Rich @ Doghouse Diesel tune it for you. Hands down, THE best investment I have made on this truck.
