what TUNER is everyone running....

[durallymax]

I run a stock tranny and HUGE EFI Live tune hat was supposed to be for pulling only.

I find myself running ti way too much.

Slips ridiculously in every single gear, but its fast.

badass video!!! i seen it on the other site, but you also got the tts upgrade with a TC i only have a transgo jr if i tried doing that with mine on that level i would probably limp it lol

Yeah, before my tranny build LVL-4 would limp my truck every 4-5 shift at W.O.T. To really enjoy the ppe you need a built tranny.

 

[FactoryMX]

but if you let off for the 4-5 shift it should hold up better?

 

[custom8726]

Yeah, it will hold a little longer like that. I would suggest locking out 5th when you are playing around with a big tune on a stock tranny. I ran the ppe on LVL-6 on our LB7 with 5th locked out and it held the power fine on a stock tranny. For how long is the real question???????

 

[FactoryMX]

i know one guy that has been running the 225 tune on a stock tranny for over 25k now, and he doesnt even have a transgo jr in it. He drives it aggressive but not stupid.

 

[custom8726]

The 6spd's will hold a little more power then the 01-05 5spd's, still at 225 he is burning his clutches wether its limping or not.

 

[durallymax]

I always slightly let off each shift, it keeps my torque management under better control since I dont have it quite figured out yet.

I usually lock out 5th too, but ive found some crafty foot work will keep it from limping, but its still burning things up.

X2, i also have a transgo jr which should help the clutches out some

I have been running the PPE HOT+2 ET on LVL-8 (315hp) in 15-40 degree weather with no problem, other then tire wear!!!Video of D-MAX-2 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Bah, banks does that, just with less smoke

[DunesRunner08]

I had to vote the flashpaq, but its the cortex, its a lot better...and has a 2 yr powertrain warranty

 

[FactoryMX]

but the smoke is good

 

[Smokin139]

but the smoke is good

Yeah, smoke is sweet for sure

 

[trashygasman]

I have a triple dog for now, looks like I'm going to PPE when I can sell this. And when I can talk my wife into it.

 

[FactoryMX]

just tell her it will get you better MPG so you will save money buying it and it also helps the truck run more efficient

 

[durallymax]

Banks tunes for no smoke. While it is wasted fuel, it still is power.

Yeah i know, but ill get some pictures up of "smokeless power" i can pour it out like hell.

 

[custom8726]

Our 04 LB7 has the Banks big hoss bundle on it so I know all about the capabilities of Banks no smoke products. I can say from first hand experience there is no comparison between PPE and Banks. Don't get me wrong if you don't plan on upgrading your tranny the banks system is nice for a little extra power but if you want real power and smooth shifts PPE or EFI are the best there is, Period!!!

 

[DunesRunner08]

im guessing no one else likes superchips?

 

[tinman22]

superchips is good for starters. I had one as my first programmer. it did well for me but the transmission never shifted right on performance mode before I did the suncoast. but milage was good and I thought it was very user friendly

My friend had the PPE and his shifted horrible on his 07 classic, and my Banks has shifted almost flaulessly till just recently. Plowing really hurt my trans i think.
