[chris d]

I have a Midwest Diesel & Auto Billet S366 kit and I love it.

I had driveability problems before, wont spool laggy/no power etc switched to Gearhead tunes, a few reversions and problems solved if you end up going the single route definitely switch to Gearhead tunes.

WOT EGT's don't go over 1350, power is awesome, overall kit is well put together and its awesome quality.

Stock fuel? Dual fuelers? Bigger nozzles? Plans on how youre gonna use the truck, dd, dragstrip, sled pull????? That's what will tell us what setup you may like

In a nut shell...

Pros:

More power
Cleans up under the hood
Relatively more reliable than stock compounds
Way easier to work on
Less drive pressure, bp is practically 1:1
Sounds amazing

Cons

Loss of the instant spool that stock compounds provide
Takes time to dial it in perfectly how you want it
Typically can't tow heavy (not desirable)

 

[chris d]

For now I want to keep it a daily driver so stock fuel

72mm atmo turbo. Cheap and reliable. Very effective upgrade.

I had a tune built off your race tune and it still is smokey, hot, and not good. Haha gotta do some more revisions.

Wierd you sure you don't have anything wrong with truck? Boots ,up pipes,leaking manifolds clogged intercooler? I couldn't get that tune to smoke or get hot even if I tried., well anyways, that was my old one I'm on number 5 now LOL. 4 to 5 was a huge improvement.

What the temps you are seeing now with that tune? My temp crusing at 60 are 650-750 and 900-1100 climbing hills.

Also idk if I ever asked, do you have a no limit intake?

What's your rail pressure cruising and WOT, what's you boost at a 60 cruising? When is it hot and smokey?

 

[josh@thedieselcartel]

I really like the and have been happy with the H&S Single kit. They even provide the tuning for it.

It's got brand new BD uppipes and manifolds, can't find a boost leak anywhere but I'm gonna test it hopefully tonight with 20-30psi and my air compressor, gonna spray everything. I've thought about the clogged intercooler idea too, I was planning on changing it, but the deal I had fell through. Temps are the same, hot as hell. Hahaha 1050 cruising, 1250-1350 climbing hills. At 70. At 60 the motor lugs so bad, I can hit 1500 climbing hills at 60, and its a smokey, smokey b*tch. Not sure about RP, Livewire can't monitor it. I'm going to do some data logs for Cody tonight and see what we can come up with. Something still isn't right, I'm smoking constantly while cruising, and I smoke on the very lightest acceleration. Going from a stop light, even if I drive so easy it only makes 1psi of boost, I'm still hazing behind me.

Light throttle roll from a stop light I can reach 3-5 psi very easy and a very light haze. Something definitely isn't right LOL I would check for any leaks,Get a better scanner on it like AE or IDS,it could have codes that the SCT won't even show.

Do you have a no limit intake?

 

[08Monster]

Do you have a no limit intake?

Yes I do.

 

[Powerstroke Man 6.4]

Yes I do.

I don't want to derail this thread even more but, I wonder if rescaling the MAF would help with your bottom end lag/smoke? read this thread,
