Most aggressive tune possible
I recently bought a 2500hd for mainly towing my woods buggy, pulling a sled at competitions and also a trip or two to the drag strip and that's it.
Are there any little tricks or tips anyone has to get the most aggressive tune possible, and by that I mean a custom tune?
I was reading that while running a lower temp stat you can get a more aggressive tune, which was news to me. I didn't know that adding such a small part would allow this. Are there any other little odds and end's that can be done to get the best possible tune? Nothing major like internals, that comes later down the road, but just simple little stuff.
thanks.

Anything significant you get out of a custom tune gets you closer to problems (or disaster). If you're truly looking for more power, get a cam, a higher-RPM torque converter, or both. If you really want more power, get a blower or turbo.

theres not a lot to do tuning wise on a stock truck, the biggest thing on the 6.0 hd trucks is take out the 60 second delay for power enrichment, thats a 20-30hp gain then set your timing were you not getting any detenation. not necessarily an aggressive tune but just being tuned right.
