6.4 Beta Testers Wanted

White_monster · Oct 13, 2011

Want to test on a truck with twin pumps, 60's, bigger turbos? Once my engines done I'll be using 150s, max powers, and twin pumps. Hook me up.

Are you going to be putting out anything in the range of a 450-500HP tune? I only run lower tunes(mainly out of fear), but have always heard good things about your tunes for other trucks.

Edit: Oh, and also are these tunes going to be something you can email to me, or will I need to send in the Livewire?

Yes I have a "street" tune that should be in the 475-490HP range. Dyno results soon.

Yes email tunes.

I would like to try a new tune with my manual trans. Sending email

White_monster · Oct 15, 2011

I've got the dashdaq. Any other info you would need? No dyno access just street times. Let me know.

Wow very nice and smooth with little smoke. Top end power for sure.

Glad to hear, i sent matt my info last night, cant wait to try it out!

I have a couple days of driving the SRL tune and I think its a good daily driver tune that has little or no smoke under normal driving conditions. I get a good stream when I get hard on the throttle. Up until I tried this tune I was running IDP x street and x race. The x race is a smokey SOB but is by far more powerful. The SRL and the X sreet are real close power wise with the SRL tune clean on the low end and smokey on top, where as x street was smokey low end but cleans up on top to just a haze. The x street has givin me the best mpg. I think gearhead is sending me another tune to try out.

are you hand calc'ing the mileage? my mileage readout is correct and may read lower than other tunes for that reason.

Yes I hand calculate.

What about some video recordings of the LW screen monitoring EGT's, Fuel Pressure, TC Slip, Boost, Backpressure, etc. from you beta testers?

I could make some video but I cant find where to monitor that stuff on my livewire.

Well some not so good news, I was driving the SRL tune hard this morning to get a good feel for the power before I load the Hot tune and my truck puked alot of coolant. So I wont be loading the Hot tune. I went back to Xstreet and no puking. Do I have a blown head gasket?

Did you run it equally hard on the Xstreet? What was your coolant level before the puking?

Desertdweller · Oct 20, 2011

My coolant level has always been about a inch below the cold fill line. I refilled to that level and drove hard on xstreet and no puking.

Dustball8504 · Oct 20, 2011

Interesting, mine hasn't puked yet so I dunno.

Gearhead · Oct 20, 2011

IDK what is going on here... those tunes were tested on a truck with a head gasket issue to see if it would puke and it hasn't yet.

Dzchey21 · Oct 20, 2011

egr related?

Cant wait to try these tunes out

Desertdweller · Oct 20, 2011

I was very surprised to see and smell coolant, the SRL tune was working very well with my truck and driving habits. Im thinking I flash boiled do to egt temp from driving to hard.

superdutyfarmer · Oct 21, 2011

Desertdweller, I had the same thing happen to me, I will be removing the coolers next week to confirm that it is not a cooler problem and them I will reload the tunes and see if they puke. I have it turned back right now until I do that, I also got some cattle to haul. I will repost when I get the coolers off
