EFILive tune.
Lift Pump.
Start saving for a tranny because he's gonna keep trying and you're gonna keep racing him.

Buying an EFI tuned ECM from one of the vendors on here is the easy way to go EFI. Any of these guys can get you set up with the lift pump and tranny you need, too. Your worries will be over.

EFI Live is a custom tuning software for our trucks. jsut buying EFI Live by its self, you will have to download your stock tune and custom tune it your self but this takes lots of time and learning. ive had mine for 8 months and have barely scratched the surface.

Now when you buy EFI Live,you can ask the vendor you bought from for a tune or two and most will have a few ready for ya. or do as said above which is buy a ECM that is already pre-programmed with an EFI Live tune/tunes.

Now with that said, you can also put a DSP5 or DSP2. these are switches with in plain terms means you can switch to different tunes by using special OS programmed into the ECM. So now you would be able to select between either 2 or 5 programmed tunes on the fly.

Your gunna need a lift pump for sure ( i prefer ADII for ease of instillation) and atleast a transgo jr if you run a hot race tune, id suggest you do a few WOT runs on the hot race tune and log them. it will tell you if you are for sure gettin all you can out of that tune. If you are, go put that dodge in his place as you will kick the snot out of him. if you were closer id show him what efi live on 37s can do :D

I read about the switch were you can jump from one tune to the next..VIA a switch.on the EFI live. I like that idea because i can switch to a easy travel tune or jump into a towing horse trailer or tractor tune..An most of all jump into ass wipping dodge tune ... I do want to try to buy from venders on this site as much as i can ... I'll have to check with Dustin to see if he has the ADII because easier would be nice..I think its only right to buy from the venders here..After all this is were im gettting all the help.. If the customer service is good ill turn other diesel guys on to them as well...

I want the EFI set up to were i can write and build my own tunes.. Just for my truck ect.. It sounds really hard but on the hand it sounds like something it would give me a reason to work on an play with my truck alot more .. If your married hobbies are a must..It's worth the effort ..I personally think thats the way to go and do it right .,..I have owned snap on scanners in the past..Now what's the EFI live set up i need ,In order to read and write my own tunes and use some other guys tunes ?
