So I'm not looking for a fire breathing drag strip monster lol but would the difference in the canned tow tune to a custom tune be as drastic as the change from stock to the canned tow tune? I really can't believe the difference already!  The truck is mostly stock, 06 KR F-150 5.4 4X4, Gotts mod & a Magnaflow cat-back,
Thanks Again, Kenny |
Kenny, the difference between canned and custom was not as dramatic as the difference between canned and stock. But, it felt more "refined" to me, and, I think my gas mileage improved by about 1/2 mpg. Mostly, if you get custom tunes you need to be as "specific" in what you are looking for (as a result) as you can be when you place your order. For instance, I made sure Bill knew most of my driving was Interstate Highway, that I don't scream off from a standstill, that I needed improved passing performance in the 60 mph range when on 2-lane highways and that improved gas mileage would be appreciated.
Drive your truck for a while and try to think of ways it could be improved before you order. And, I'm glad you aren't looking for a "fire-breathing" monster - these are working trucks and they need to be treated as such.
