pretty expensive eh. they're are only 1 or 2 dyno tune shops here. but there is another one 3 hours away.

everything is more expensive here!

 

I would for sure get the gears over the tune but that is just me. The tune is safe and you can romp on it all day. The truck will be a ton more fun to drive with gears vs a tune. Once you get the tune, you will think it feels a lot better but you will still be stuck with long 3.42s. The tune might add 30-40hp..? (not sure) but gears will feel like 100 hp

Just my 2cents

 

It's prolly that monopoly money you guys use is the problem. Lol

In all seriousness though a mail order tune from a sponsor is only $300 with free retunes and on a basically stock vehicle will be just fine. For $750 you could buy hptuners or efilive and get an email tune from many tuners which is basically as good as a live tune.

 

Thats a good point. Get HP Tuners and gears. Best of both worlds and around the same price as your dyno tune

 

I'm gonna give the in person tune a shot.

someone is gonna have to in person tune the truck when I go turbo anyways so ill try these guys out and keep an eye on them.

the truck is brand new so I've got a few years to get it where I want it. after the tune and stall I'm gonna focus on the turbo.

and as some have said. ill go turbo before I go gears. and gear down accordingly for the turbo.

either way every little mod helps. just I'd like to focus on stall/ gears/ turbo/ tune for awhile.

either way this thing has to go faster. and I need to get much more consistant!

 

where are you from?
I play with that monopoly money too and it wouldn't cost $750 for a dyno tune here, mind you...still nowhere near as cheap as in the states

 

I'm in Edmonton Alberta.

I'm originally from Toronto though.

 

Tall gears dont load the turbo the engine loads the turbo, if you need a tall gear to build boost then you got something wrong in your setup. On a 4l60 or 4l80 you want to cross the 1/4 at your peak power in third, on the 6 speed you want to in 4th cause its the closest to 1-1 in the trans. So id leave the gear till you got a turbo and see how it does, hate to see you do it twice on a 4x4

 

I'm down in cowtown so we've got like 7-8 shops that can dyno and one down in Tilley but even so just for 3 base runs your at like $150 nevermind tuning

 

You going to castrol raceway? I wanna try make it for a street night in june
