no issues. Spoke with Bob about a couple items (speed limiter for one) but since its still in beta, not all revo functions are usable right now other than timing changes, tire size and dtc look up and erase.
I agree with the turbo being too small. I might do an upgraded wheel and use it with a twin set up with like a S475. I want to keep the exhaust brake

i got a core from MHP with the tune on it. Put it on my truck and sent them my TCM as the core. I know you are running the smarty but everything i have heard is that h&s overdrive tuning is way better than MHP. I liked the MHP tho. It made the shifts a lot firmer.

i think that would be the way to go. I know the h&s tranny tuning works great with the 5R110. You need to drive my truck and see what you think of the tranny tuning. They came out with some custom tranny tuning options. THey work great

I going to run a 50mm external gate as well. I plan on starting with the stock turbo and upgrading to a BW EFR 8374 or 9180 turbo. Just bought a second transmission for my truck and going to get it performance upgraded/overhauled. At that time I'll have my truck ripped completely apart, might just pull the engine to throw a set of 12/24VP rods into her.

nan you can buy good used 6.7L less than what you can buy those rods for. 12/24VP rods with ARP's are enough for what I'm doing, probably even abit overkill. Just bought a running complete 6.7L out of 08 dodge for less than $1800. I have another 6.7L just sitting in storage. They are out there and available.
I'm just shooting for daily driver 500-600rwhp for my truck. Been hoping that EFI live becomes available for the 4th gen, thats going to fix alot of the fuel mapping issues that seem to occur with these tuners.
Seen a few wrecks along the way from the big tunes regardless of manufacturer.
