Revo TNT Test Drive

Spent about 1/2 hour tonight playing. This is a very strong tune. Test run #1 was sw9 w/ shift defuel stock, TQ mngt #4, timing #2, RP #2. Didn't look at a single gauge - too busy watching the road. SOTP says I'm running low 12s. Run #2 was same settings and glancing at the boost gauge, RP gauge, and out the rear view. Smoke never cleared to 100mph. Run #3 was same settings with MP8 on about 75%. RP maxed about 25k and stayed about 20k. Run #4 switched the shift defuel off and RP to #3 and turned the mp8 back off. Run #5 turned the mp8 to 100% and it pegged the gauge and then held about 25k. Run #6 I finally got the courage to watch egts as it is above the rear view and not on the A-pillar. Hit about 1700 and then fell off to 1600. It's a good thing my MPI kit is shipping tomorrow.

2 questions.

#1. Timing number 2 is added timing over number 1 (stock) - correct? So number 2 is the highest timing available? I got no rattle at all and was wishing I could have added a little more timing to see how it acted.

#2. I thought that the download when switching settings was suppose to be fast? It took just as long as a normal download.

#1 I still cant figure out the timing thing. I thought 4 was highest then sombody else said its the lowest. I gave up and set it where it didnt sound like a 12ver and started driving. I think it was at 2 last I checked.

#2 Its not anyfaster you just dont have to go to the site to get different timing and what-not.

Now from what I gathered from the reading to get the most timing advance was to set it to default (0) and pick a odd numbered setting. I thought it was a little cornfusing myself but I am pretty stupid so I just figured it was me.

Right. Which is aftermarket injectors. Which is less timing that was available with the 4.11 and less than available with the standard Revo. I love the TNT tune, but wonder if I could pick up even a little more power with some additional timing. And for those of you who will suggest it, I will NOT put a TST on my truck.

Not Yet. But don't think I won't.

curious why you won't run a TST? I'm not very up to speed w/ the CR stuff. I'm running the TNT-R w/ a TST and a set of Flux 1's

I have very little smoke, but the thing pulls like crazy on the big end

on std revo, #4 is the most timing for economy, on tnt files its the least... .for huge nos doses.....

i beleve #0 and odd software gets the most out of tnt
but im not %100 on that....

I've heard WAY too many problems caused by the TST and poor service when problems arise as well. Besides, it's ugly. I prefer trouble free and great customer service.

It is too bad you are scared of the TST. Mine has been flawless for 140k.

0 is the most timing on an odd prgram.

Yeah, I know there are a lot of guys that have had good luck with the TST and swear by it. The problem is I know of too many that have had problem upon problem and never got the truck right until they decided not to use the TST anymore.

I don't really need it anyway. I only ever wanted to hit 600hp and I'm well beyond that. Just need to get my MPIs installed to get my towing surge issue taken care of and I'm good. That should put me close to 700hp and I don't intend to go for more.
