Thanks for all the replies guys. I think if I go with the SCT I can't go wrong. That way I can try Gearhead, Innovative and KEM plus still have my Dashdaq for monitoring or return to my Spartan tunes if need be.

You will like Erics tunes. MY TC is locked at anything above about 35.
I dont know what hills you are talking about, but 46 to Paso the only time I droped under 55 is if the fan kicked in (even then it is not much below), or someone gets in front of me. That is on Erics tow tune.

I am going to try the Street tune the next time I tow the fiver, which will be to Napa in July unless a weekend trip on days off to the coast or something.

Let me know how STREET works for you.

Will do. I have some other stuff coming so I hope it will be installed prior to the trip. Intercooler, EGR Delete and new intake elbow. I am sure the Street will be just fine.

Still havent had time to delete the EGR in mine either... Stock everything else as well. I have three projects ongoing... the 250, the 2000 Road King (now a road glide...) and my boat. I need to finish at least one of them before I get hot on another... LOL

I am in the same place.
Decided to change my Impala back (yes I said back) to a 6-Speed Manual.
The 11 R1.
The dually.
Damn this can get expensive.

Yup... this one is almost done.... I tore it to the frame, and started all over.... LOL A 2000 Road King Standard, and now it has a 2008 Road Glide fairing (from a crashed bike) .... It will be rolling down the PC Highway in late September...

The boat.... LOL well, someone gave it to me, a 1978 21 foot Bayliner Cuddy Cabin, with a blown motor..... so, it is getting some rebuild action too! And small turbo.... LOL

K truck ran great. Pulled well along side my 2012. Street pulled great but egts were a little high and had to back out a few times. Matt's tune pulled about the same as street but keep the egts below 1250. Both trucks were just below 30,000. I have to get him to adjust 5-6 downshift and will send him a email soon. This truck has 4.88 gears. Also sct and exhaust thats it. 186,500 miles. I'm sure the shifting is a little different than most trucks having the 4:88s
