I very much agree with this! It wouldn't be your own custom tunes if you don't get the tunes you want. If you didn't want custom tunes then why even have efi? If someone is paying to have edition and their own tunes of their choice then so be it. Let them learn what they like and don't like first Han. And asking I do believe my lope smoke tune f'd my first Turbo. But that's another story of its own.

why? they are cool sounding

That's a matter of opinion... personally, I hate a loping idle and think it sounds stupid... like the motor isn't built or tuned worth crap.

Same thing with smoke... a little puff when you stomp on it, before the turbo spools up, is ok IMO, but to blanket an entire freeway with a thick cloud of black smoke, not so much.

If a customer is paying for custom tuning and they want a lope tune, a smoke tune, a puff of smoke on start-up, or any other non-performance or vanity feature it is their truck and their choice. A valet, high idle, or no-start tune is certainly not a "performance tune" but there are customers who want them.

If a lope tune has your drivetrain clanking you need to change it or check over your drivetrain - you probably have a bad u-joint. I have heard so many "I heard it's hard on ________" comments it's not funny; if you read the internet enough it will bend your rods, crack your pistons, break your crank, blow apart your turbo and converter, twist driveshafts, snap u-joints, and your injectors will implode.... :spit: I have hundreds of trucks that lope on one tune that have never had any of those problems. For the record you can make any 01-10 lope on just one position of a DSP5 switch and the lope on the LMM actually sounds the best IMO - it is more irregular like a cam'd gasser would be; the LBZ is next and still has an irregular, natural sound; then the older trucks which often get into to much of a steady rythme to where it doesn't sound natural.

Bottom line, it is your truck - if you think a lope tune is cool and want one go for it, if you want a high idle tune to warm it up in the winter have at it. If you want custom tunes that are actually "made to the specifications of an individual customer" find a tuner who will listen to you and write you the tunes you want, otherwise you are getting predetermined tunes loaded on with EFI Live.

Very well said i deleted my post saying this in a more direct form :D also thanks for correcting me i thought the 06-up trucks loped in all tunes (never tired to do it just herd)

For some reason I just wasted 25 minutes reading about stupid lope tunes. I don't know who is worse, me for reading or the guy that wanted the tune.:drama:

Come'on now don't you realize that EFI is all about custom tuning? It's what the customers want they demand it custom tuning! Here I thought EFI was brought to the public for the DIY'ers ease of tuning and also what I thought was the need for custom tuning for all the additional hard parts available for these trucks and data log and monitor the engine parameters.But yet it was brought to us to make your truck into a big block gasser with a big cam lope!

Boy was I wrong! Silly me! :D


Ya know what if some fool was willing to pay for this I'd corner the market and charge extra for this "custom" tune! All that extra work going into tune time to make your truck run like shit has to be worth double! :D

You're not the only one noticing this Steve.

I started a thread on it two weeks ago (not worded as strongly as you put it though). I then deleted it to save the mods the hassle if someone (inevitably) took it wrong. I stated why we need to communicate coherently, and how such requests look for our community as a whole.

12" stacks, train horns, lope tunes, smoke tunes, text typing and bad grammer...I think we need to adopt some of CompD's "rules" regarding these subjects.

Agreed. Now we have a 'no-ban' policy here and I understand the true reason for that is to keep information truthful, fair, and unbiased.

These idiots do not fall into that category. It is intentional stupidity (trolling) that will turn this forum to the shithole that all the other ones are.

Pat can we please make exceptions to the rule?

Since when is it 'cool' to sound stupid as dirt?

x3....:rolleyes: I started noticing that in the Introductions area a while back.

What amazes me is the number of people who actually gave "serious" answers or even gave justification to the "Three Stooges".
The phrase, "The customer is always right" is not always correct.

BTW, did you notice who is conspicuously absent from this thread (and forum) after the other night? Must be they had to get back to their bridge.

We should make new arrivals submit a resume with references in addition we should draw up a maturity test with a short question and answer test to see their quality of typed words they will post! :roflmao:

Seriously I cannot read those other forums it's like reading the comments on you-tube. I don't even go to the place anymore and read.

We just need a button next to their name that hides all of that users past and future posts.

Some people like grab-assing. I don't.
