I know this is a deal breaker for some, but I prefer it, as I prefer analog gauges.

How is the EB performance with the tuner installed? I've read that some are having trouble with decreased performance from their EB once they installed the mini max. Seems to be sort of a hit or miss issue on their trucks depending on what version they are running. My TH can get pretty heavy and do not want to lose my EB capability/stopping power.

Can't wait to get my truck breathing right!

after the dyno, i will fill the tank to the top and head to el paso for work, record highway miles and get better results. the power is too fun and can't keep my foot out of it. being on the highway, i will set cruise at 80mph and let it roll down to terrorize rockcrawler

Cuz the grass always seems greener...

Right foot control is just not an option in the current software and seems to become less available in higher HP settings.

T minus 15 hours and 15 minutes and counting til



DYNO!


don't be expecting stupid high numbers as this test is with a JR AND ALL emissions garbage is still on the truck.

will be running the truck stock to get a baseline then loading SW1, dyno again, let it sit for a few to help reduce heat soak, load SW2 and again and then SW3. Won't be able to play with timing and will leave other settings on default.

Will post results after I get back from El Paso (have to work right after the dyno run )
