Not to hijack this thread or get off topic but could someone tell me what job# my 2008 truck would be with a 03/08 build date?

I believe its a job 3, anything built in 08 is.

pretty sure this works to see what your sticker was and should have the job class on it.

Brand of tune really has nothing to do with it, making 600 hp or close to it is asking a lot of your stock head bolts and honestly you can't really blame that on a tune. I think a lot of guys get upset when something fails and look for a brand this or that as the cause. But these trucks can make so much more power than they were ever intended to or designed to do that you're asking way to much from a stock TTY bolt.

Come now, quit the logic already!

That does make sense, but i know a dirty tune is gonna create more heat which could help with blowing a head gaskets

Main thing with tuning for stock head bolts is keeping cylinder pressures in check. But every truck is different and stock parts can only take so much.

If you don't mind what's the times like at the track with the three big tuners?

I haven't personally been to the track yet, i'll be going in april or may when they open. But from what others have ran with a tune, intake and exhaust 12.60's to 12.40's from a race tune, could run slower too if your not at sea level or close to it.

Doubt 12.4s with just a tune, exhaust and cai. And if I'm not mistaking there were only a handful of trucks able to run 12.6s with just tune/exhaust/cai

I thought i saw some trucks running 12.55's and a few running 12.46's tune and intake and exhaust only. Either way, 12 something is deffinetly there!

What does HD300 usually run time wise at the track?

Wow, had no idea custom tunes picked up half a second. Nice! Looks I'll be getting some Gearhead real soon

Pretty sure spartan canned tunes are running 12.60's or 12.50's jeff from spartan has posted this info many times in various threads.

 

[Stroked777]

Those numbers are wrong, most trucks I heard of are at 12.9-13.4 depending on chassis configuration, but for custom tunes there was a thread where they compared Gearhead and IDP head to head and gear head made more on the dyno but was slower at the track

 

[Mike@MPD]

Best I could do on idp race was 12.64
