Ok the year of his truck is a 2008. One more variable to throw into the pot.

Question

Forgive me if I dig into far into proprietary areas. Now, Bill when the developement of canned tunes was done at edge, wasn't their some safety proticals established or parameters? Wouldn't you guys test the extremes either way?

Now wouldn't sct do the samething with the xcal3?
It seems like a stable unit to operate?

Shoot! Another thought. Would a ffv interfere any with the canned tune being lean?

Yes, when testing vehicles we pushed them to the ragged edge (no pun intended). We know where power can still be made with both aggressive timing and fuel modifications and we always back down a bit to leave room for error.

Many things can affect performance including temperature, humidity, fuel quality, fuel octane, ethanol content, and others... and that's not even getting into the bolt-on stuff.

It has been my experience that SCT and Superchips tend to run a bit more aggressive on their canned tuning, which I believe stems from their desire to have good marketing HP numbers. This means that there is less tolerance for environmental changes or mechanical modifications.

Hope this helps.
