With mine they did a base run on the dyno. Alan then did some tuning and did another dyno run. He did this 3 more times until he was convinced he had it right. I got about 20 more rwhp & rwtq. Doesn't sound like much, but it mad a big sotp difference.

Futral all the way!!! I gained 41rwhp over my stock tune on the dyno. The customer service is #1. I won't ever go anywhere else for tuning.

That should be convincing enough! That's a pretty significant increase in tuning alone.

Richard-didnt you do more than just a tune though? 41rwhp would put other tuners out of buisness!

With all my mods except the fans, pulley, gears & the cut-outs my base run was 229 rwhp. Futral looked at the wideband (I think my a/f ratio was really off), tuned it for a few minutes = 270rwhp. I've got the dyno sheet to prove it. The difference in driveability and sotp was amazing! Futral knows his stuff, you'd be a fool if you didn't get his tune, especially living so close. When I've been down there, I drive at about 75-80mph and it takes me right at 4 hours to get down there. It's worth it though!

They will remove as much TQ management as you want. Call them and Alan will recommend how much to remove based on your mods, and try to keep it safe at the same time.
