Just wondering. What's your setup? And have you tuned many high HP trucks? Not being a SA. Really just curious because I have a lot more questions.

I've tuned quite a few stock trucks. AA, AB, and AD injectors only. No big oil, no fancy stuff. I know what I like a truck to run like so therefore that's what I do. It turns out that a lot of other folks like what I do too.
I did put ADs in a 96 and tuned for that. My setup is absolutely boring. It's a great-driving '01 with PMRs, a "mechanical diode" intermediate sprag, no lift, stock size tires, and USA turbo. Max power? 321 corrected. Whoopadee-doo. It makes a great test bed though.

Cool! Hell, if I had Minotaur, all I'd be focused on is having my truck set up for EVERY situation... So I dont blame you!
Are the single shots a whole lot different?

That's really what I focus on right now because there is about zero demand for super-high performance diesels. The most you really see around here is Edge Juice or similar HPOP modules that folks paid way too much for. Nobody is interested in making 400+ HP but they really want better response, better shifting, and the ability to tow safely at the same time.
I have about 6-7 different programs per HP level for towing, daily driving, or performance. I have about 9 levels per PCM calibration for the SD trucks and 3-4 for the OBS trucks...each with varying amounts of accelerator pedal feel and fueling rates. I created them to be compatible with any situation.....but I'm constantly changing and rebuilding them into more superior programs the more I learn from asking questions or changing certain functions.  Single shots different? Yeah, there are a couple maps in the tuning software that have to be changed. I think Bill wrote a long article about it over at PSN.....I'll go find it quickly....... Here it is: http://powerstrokenation.com/forums/...ad.php?t=37114 Enjoy!

So, do you live tune as a side job?

I wouldn't call it a "side job" so much as a hobby. I haven't gotten enough of my investment out of it yet to justify calling it a job.
 It just happens to be something I think I'm good at and something that makes my brain work hard (since my 8-5 job wouldn't challenge a monkey).

See, that's what I'd like to know. Do you think I could get started with tuning a 7.3 for under $800? All I need the Minotaur package? Then I have to buy all the different PCM codes too, right?
Have you tuned any D-max's?
