H&S tuners, which one is king?

WILD_PHIL · Jun 19, 2012

Guys I have done some research on H&S Black Max, Mini Max, and XRT PRO. Pretty decent price differences between the 3. I have EGT, Boost, Trans temp, and fuel pressure gauges. Just wondering what yalls opinions are on which one to go with. I am sure the Black Max offers the most withs its 1200.00 price tag, but is it worth the money? I see most of you guys running the mini max. What do yall think?

The only difference between the black max and mini max is the screen size

:whs:

The Black Maxx isn't available right now though. It'll probably be a few months before it is again.

OK good to know. I won't be spending the extra money on it then.

Tuning between the three is the exact same, Minimaxx does all the same stuff the Blackmaxx does except in a smaller package. The Mini does have a higher screen resolution though, the Blackmaxx is on back order though till the new design is released and then it will have more features and such to set it apart from the Mini. The XRT is just a flash device that has the same tuning but no screen to read parameters.

Flash device as in no shift on the fly?

If you've already got gauges in the truck, I'd go with a handheld tuner and save the coin from buying a monitor. Custom tuning on an SCT device or the XRT Pro would be good options. If you decide you may be interested in the SCT with custom tunes for your truck, let me know if we can help...

I wouldn't recommend shift on the fly... one thing I would do as others said would be to get an sct (as currently we do not tune on the h&s for customtunes)

If you want to try H&S tuning on your truck, hit me up, we'll load it up and see what you think.

SCT with custom tunes for the 6L hands down.

To clarify this is 6L only

TXGLASSMAN · Jun 20, 2012

I agree with the last few post. If we are talking 6.0 sct with custom tuning is hands down the way to go

Sorry guys, 6.4 only. I actually have a live wire for a 6.0 but it sat in my console for to long and now the screen is black. LCD busted from the heat i guess. Do y'all know if I can have it remanned? I ran Eric's tunes on my 6.0 and was very happy with them. Put down 394hp and 990ft lbs on the tuner intake and exhaust. I just don't here about many people running SCT ON the 6.4s. Not to mention I dyno'd a 6.4 running a mini Max on a 275(I think) tune and it put down 575hp consistently. I was impressed. Now that I have a 6.4 I think 500-600hp should be just fine for me. I hear good things about H&S all the time. If some one has an opinion on some thing that would be better, cheaper, or just more cost affective I'd love to here about it.

You posted this in the 6.0 section by accident.

WILD_PHIL · Jun 21, 2012

Scit sorry gentlemen. My dumb phone makes using this site a PITA.

WILD_PHIL · Jun 21, 2012

Can a mod please move this to the 6.4 section

Actually there are more high HP 6.4's running a SCT with custom tunes than any other tuner on market.

WILD_PHIL · Jun 22, 2012

OK didn't know that. I just seen 2 other post of people asking to trade H&S for SCT. Guess it makes sense!

sct with gearhead tunes for a 6.4

WILD_PHIL · Jun 22, 2012

Pizza Pig that is one hell of a discription: traction bars plus other crap on the outside that looks cool but doesnt matter lmao. I like it. Thanks for the opinion sir.
