I took a drive over to Eric's shop and picked up my SCT in person for my 6.7. As you all may be familiar, I've been running the Torq2 since 500 miles and have been really happy with that box, but I wanted something a bit more.
I've been waiting for Eric's tunes, patiently, and the day has come. Without wasting many words- it was worth the wait!
I had the Torq2 in place and I chose to stack to tuner with the pressure box and it's a wicked combo. Everything Eric has been known for comes with these newest tunes. Trans shifting- perfect and sure. Gobs of low end power, only a push of the pedal away. His tuning definitely wakes the truck up in a big way!
Is my DPF still on? Yes. Do I mind it? No. The truck is stealthy and after discussing this point with Eric in depth, I may never take it off. The truck runs so efficiently and as for me, being a fast and (kind of) quiet truck is better than being heard a few blocks away or possibly having a drone on the highway. But that's me.
I'm running Eric's tow tune with the Torq2 on 100% and don't have a single issue. He recommended doing this as the T2 raises rail pressure in a different way than just tuning, so you get the drivability and great shifting of the tune, with extra power from the Torq2. He said this tuner/box combo is comparable if not more powerful than the race tune he has available. The spool up is nearly instant and the torque down low is just brutal. Fwiw- I did a few passes in the truck and it runs best when traction control is on. Something about it, but it runs like a raped ape from either a stand still or from a roll. With the TC off, it was holding back some.
I saw about a 1.5mpg gain driving home, but I was to anxious to romp on it, so I'll report back some better mpg when the newness wares on me... But don't hold your breathe lol
I'll try and get some in cab videos. But it's a solid driver. All the truck has is intake, Torq2, and a tune. I'm impressed. Only thing I'll be adding is a 5" DPF back exhaust that I also picked out of santa's work shop in Maryland.
Word on the street is that Eric may actually do a Torq2/SCT combo some time soon for those in need of some extra horsepower for their 6.7 and there will be specific Torq2 tunes coming out as well. :naughty:
To sum it all up: IDP tuned vs. just the Torq2, I'd say this feels every bit of 50+hp stronger than the box alone and the trans shifting by itself is worth the upgrade. It is nearly night and day. This truck pulls REAL hard!
Extra 3.5rwhp cause the man himself plugged it in:
Thanks Eric! You hit it out of the park again!
