Matt is the man with the powermax tunes, thats who I was planning on using for mine.

It very well may be that you dont have a custom tune.
Be well worth the money to get a custom one!

I called Swams about getting a custom tune but they told me it would be pushing the issue with my truck since i didnt do the headstuds.. they said the tune i have now is about an 85HP tune....

So your running the canned tunes that come preloaded, is that correct?

My .02 is that I would check into a custom tunes still, you could get a street tune that would probably be more powerful and safer then the canned tunes.

I run Vivians tunes from quick tricks automotive right now. I have a tow tune (50hp) street (85ish) and looney tune (125) most tuners have a studded and non studded tune. I am running the non studded looney right now, cause don't have studs yet either.

It's funny cause the looney tune actually only makes about 22psi but stock I make about 28, but the looney runs like an animal on the top end and shifts at 4100rpm at wide open. amazing what injection timing changes can do for power!!

But with a powermax I would recommend Matt at gear head.

But there is always the chance of stretching bolts!! Gotta pay to play I guess....especially with our trucks!!

Yes im on street tune. I should have went ahead and done the heads when i done everything else but i didnt feel like spending more money at that time lol i had spent enough! Eventually i will do the studs but until then i dont want to stretch them or blow a headgasket, so im not sure if i should use a custom tune until i do that. Swamps said the street tune is enough for my truck like it sits before i start tearing stuff up.
