SO, for you 2013 guys, I have officially SCT tuned my truck. It does work. There was a bit of an issue at first because of the strategy code and tune. But it was sorted out fairly quickly.

And the wait was worth it. I am running stock exhaust with just a delete pipe.
Throttle response is significantly better. Gas mileage...don't know yet just got it installed last night along with the dpf delete.

The tuning process on a 2013 is a bit more time extensive than the other years it seems.
But 100% worth it in the long run.

I understand completely. I was just being precautions for my vendor. I didn't want to throw names out there. Hope you understand.

thats what I thought 22-26 psi is good on the 6.7.but I just installed my custom race tune and im seeing 39 psi isn't that way to much? how dangerous is it to be seeing so much boost?

yup I called the shop and told them about it.And they said that yes that is the way their tune was, I told him if it was bad for my turbo he said well yes and that I could try and lower the boost with the wastegate. I then called anothee shop (pip)that also does custom tunes with sct and they told me their race tune max boost was 26 so I think ill be getting their tune. 39 psi just seem crazy high I have no idea why they would set the boost so high?

Time to see if you can convince one of the top tuners to do something for you. I don't know if any are really doing anything with SCT or not, but I would ask.
