I know this maybe a bit out of left field but I've always been curious what kind of tuning software do Ford "custom" tuners use? I would ASSume that it's similar to EFILive or HPTuners but was just curious as I'm sure none of the "major" Ford tuners would tell me if I asked

Just another reason you downgraded :D. my buddy had sct livewire but ive yet to be impressed with it :hug:

What about the Spartan tuner?

spartan to ford is like the ppe to duramax..it is about the most you can get out of a box tuner for a ford...and sct/delta force guys can write custom tunes for. As far as im aware spartan does not offer a custom tuning package... but it is a very nice setup and not cheap either!

I know I'm not replacing front end parts everytime I pull into a gravel driveway...not having to watch for pump rub or worried about it spitting rods out...weird :baby:

And we're not pulling the cabs off our trucks to work on them :rofl:

All in good fun of course :thumb:

I know a guy that wants me to delete his DPF and get some extra power for his 6.4, I take it H&S is a pretty good way to go for that?

I like my H&S...pretty affordable and I really like they update tunes for free often.

As for cab off...idk most work that DIY guys like myself do is not cab off....when I say most I mean pretty much all..thats a horrible misconception

On edit: A friends 6.4 on HS hot damn tune with a delete pipe made 591hp and 13xx ft lbs....ill see if he will send me a dyno sheet

Of course you don't have to take the cab off. Your midget enough to fit in all the tiny places. :)

Yeah the h&s is sweet! I rarely have any issues with them whatsoever as with sct it is always somethin! For the plug and play guy id say rock the h&s... The 6.4s make some pretty good power! This is coming from a guy with a 6.7 cummins though so take it for what its worth :roflmao:
