Message: [QUOTE="TyCorr, post: 1402583, member: 1451"] I appreciate your enthusiasm and I hope someone takes you up on it. Having already done just that, Im not interested. Im the guy that read threads like this for ten years but wanted the hybrids. So I got 175/80s because thats all I would ever need. Then spent another trucks worth on mods that "would maximize the use" of the tiny ass injectors. As stated ninety million times, tuned to run decently, those 175/80s and such are only squeaky clean to 400ish hp give or take a few. In the "race" type tunes they get hot, guzzle icp, and require microwave dinner length intervals of time in ms to make hot, smoky embarrasing horsepower. But hey after a built trans, heads, turbo, billet hpop, and fuel system i did gain about another ten useable horsepower. What a joke. Id never recommend them to someone unless they literally had NO clue. If someone CHOOSES those, fine. Thats on them as it was on me. But having a customer with a tining issue is more frustrating than a guy who bought a codes and has been told "buy this to fix ____" and "if you get a fuel system it will fix....." to try to cover up the fact you should have told him to get larger capacity right off the bat? In other words, the pitch didnt live up to the hype. You guys selling this crap have your opinions and us that gave paid for it all have ours too. A 238/80 would have been a better recommendation for me. Before the jumping on begins, my truck wasnt tuned to orove that 175/80s can make close to 500hp. It was tuned to see how much power they could make. Cleanly. First whack was 425hp but it would smoke and pretty bad if you werent driving to control the smoke. Retuned it was better. Then i got a third and it was all straight. But it dynoed 410hp if i remember correctly. I even switched to a 100% nozzle because that was supposed to be better. I wound up with smoky idle and bad tip in smoke control. This was in the 11s when we made a conscious effort to get rid of smoke on modded trucks. If I had the experience and $$$ lessons here and was doing it all over. Those a codes would never have been used. I think id have tried a 238/80 but thats just because of the hype around them but 250/200s have been great for me. Out of all this, im not sure what the issue really is. As stated, ive had three different sets of tunes for my setup and barring one tune i havent had any tuning issues. Just providing my info and mods, tunes are great. [/QUOTE]
