I've got a nice little milage tune in the library here you might like for just a daily driver. Nothing big or serious. Pretty low smoke to no smoke and has a decent kick to it when you get in it, and it has been getting me a consistent 20MPG mixed driving in the BURB.

hmmm i may just have to look into that. thanks!

I hear ya on trying to make something that's not normally fast a bat outta he'll. I'm looking to someday and $20-30k down the road put my truck into the 11s...just a pipe dream but you never know

haha yeah. eventually this truck will become a tow/show/play truck only and ill drive something else around all the time. ITs gettin closer and closer to that point now lol. Id like to re-build the 6.6 stronger, twin turbo it, and some other little stuff to make a high hp truck that can still pull a heavy load on a fairly high hp tune. My magic number right now is 800hp in the next five years. we shall see!

I run nicks tunes:thumb:. Plan on trying some stuff from Rob in the future though. PPE tunes are a disaster waiting to happen.

PPE is by far the Best hand held tuner out there. I have ran Diablo, Hypertech, Bullydog, Edge, and ATS. I dont see much difference between an ATS Epower and a PPE except price but who am I anyway?

Like i said. i hear good and bad things about nicks stuff, never said i would never buy anything from him but talkin with mike and the way he wants to deal with me, i will buy from him. i dont think i will need to try anyone elses as long as mike is willing to help tune as my truck grows.

i liked my PPE for the fact that i could put down some decent numbers without having to spend a bunch of money. And the fact i got a hell of a good deal on it (thanks steve :D).

It's nothing hot or anything, but definately a noticeable increase. I like it because it fits in with my sleeper BURB. It doesn't smoke much at all, so it catches people off guard when I get on it. Got a CUMMINS this morning with it. He was pouring coal and I was gone:D.

haha yeah but it relaly woke my truck up. i tweaked the main and pilot injection tables so that there is more of a ramp in the mid range and not quite so much of a hit so to speak. atleast thats what i think i did lol. I raced my buddys GTI today to see what it would do with him and he could barely pull me from a roll and couldnt get me from a dig. With my PPE i was only alittle faster. cant wait for my big race tune!!!

I played with it quite a bit to work with my old 6.5 throttle pedal. Hadn't had anybody with a stock LB7 to try it in to see how it reponded for them. You can also play with the rail valve current and wake it up ALOT in the bottom and mid throttle portions. I had it set to where it would hold 167-169 MPA of fuel at 1950 PW, but it made the throttle to touchy for me.

i agree!!!!




By the way, anyone know how long it would take for someone to build four tunes? Its been a week since mike got started on my tunes and i have not heard anything back from him. tried callin him and emailin but nothing. Im assuming he has been out or really busy but would be kinda nice to know what was goin on :D
