tuning...
I've got a tune I wrote that runs at least 20-25% more rail across the board. It also has LESS low boost fueling than OEM.
The trans tune is dialed in gnat's ass to keep the RPM in the sweet spot and to kick down when needed to stay on the turbos as much as possible.
The truck will make 1-2psi of boost sitting at a stop light with your foot on the brake. Helps the truck move smoke-free off the line.
Seems like it would be sluggish with LESS low boost fuel than stock, but it's a light truck, and having the turbos already spinning means it still accelerates as good/better than a stock truck right off the line. As soon as you get a few feet out, it'll start dusting the tires.
The truck will still get down pretty dang good. It's probably about a "200hp" tune over stock. The amount of particulate that comes from the OEM tune is nasty. They do it to keep heat up for aftertreatment, I get it... But I focused on just creating as little particulate as possible, and this tune is far cleaner than even most pre-08 OEM tunes!!!
Anyhow, that squeaky clean tune that ACTUALLY takes advantage of every bit of fuel being injected to correlate to forward motion? It'll put 19.6 on the lie-o-meter driving it like a normal human that likes to do 85 on the highway.
My Gearhead tunes driving the way I do? currently showing 15.4 and falling! LOL
You can drive with an egg under your foot... or you can put a tune on it that puts the egg there for you
