Sct tuner with custom tunes will make a big improvement.

 

[alwaysstrokin]

o yeah i forgot i have the sct sf3 but still runnin canned tunes. who should i get custom tunes through?

 

[JGman141]

There's many tuners out there that have great tunes. I like my looney wild from quick tricks but I currently run extream x from innovated diesel and I like it more the the looney wild I was running. Those are the only ones I've ran so far.

 

[alwaysstrokin]

alright ill def look into that. i was thinkin about doin the 6.4 banjo bolts too. but as far as cheap power mods im runnin low on ideas.

 

[JGman141]

Yea it's not to expensive to get to 450hp range but once you go beyond that your wallet will get lighter and lighter

Look into some injectors when you do your studs. We can get you set up.

Blue spring is easy and pretty inexpensive.

Blue spring is easy and pretty inexpensive.

And good insurance too.

I am also in the same situation and wanting to do the same. Should I get head studs before I get a tuner though? And a buddy of mine told me I should look into a bullet proof ficm as we'll.

Tuners can tune around the stock head bolts as the above post says. I've got about 15k miles on my tunes (beating the **** out of it) by the way. And I'm still good. I don't tow, but I love my srl from Matt @ Gearhead!

My ficm is stock and still rolling btw.

 

[alwaysstrokin]

Yea I think a 58v ficm is next on my list.

 

[Jeremyleggett07]

IF you do get a new FICM look into having it tuned as well. That's cheap HP.

I've got excessive free time at work today and I wanna get a custom tune. Any recommendations I heard innovative and tsd won't send tunes anymore

Franchi on this forum has some used SCT tuners for sale for a good price-get one. then get in touch with Gearhead for some custom tunes. You won't be disappointed.

Roughly, how much would all of this cost?

7500.00 plus injectors and turbo setup roughly....parts only
