2002 DSG HD #09617 NHTOC Truck of the month November 2012
Ported eaton/plenum/tb, 6lb lower, SCT BA-2600 MAF, OBX longtubes, JLP intake, FTVB, L-spec bilsteins, Hotchkis TVS, 22" replicas. Tuned by Ray McClelland of FTK
Yeah? Massive? I didn't know it made that much of a diff. Do you know what size belt I would need?
Wow. I didn't know that. . That is a big difference
It was tuned by Johnny L. But the tune has just been sitting there because I haven't bought the #6 pulley.
No not off the shelf it was a custom tune by Johnny lightning that he put in the SCT tuner before he sent it to me not one of the ones that was programmed on the tuner to begin with
Yes, its a written tune by JL, but its still not as good as a spot on dyno tune. It will be decent, and get you by. But its a "safe" starter tune, and your still sacrificing performance without a good dyno tune, or doing some dataloging for JL to tweak your tune (through email) so its essentially as good as a dyno tune. JL knows what he's doing though, so Im by no means saying its a crap tune. At this point, its still just a starter tune. But at least you picked a good one to start with.
that's off the shelf because your truck wasn't on a dyno with all the mods done and hooked into their a/f monitoring while the tune was completed (takes hours).
I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not the greatest tune. It's safe to drive. A real dyno tune from a good tuner like JL would be a better way to spend money than a set of gears.
The best bet really would probably be tires. I had decent tires on my truck but after I did most of my mods I couldn't use full throttle until part way through 2nd gear (over 45-50mph). It was fun doing rolling burnouts at 30mph but it wasn't fast at all...
I have decent tires there nitto 420s 275/55/r20 but they do still spin going 20 if I punch it. What are good tires to put on stock wheels. I'm keeping my stock
Kenne Bell 2.6 - JLP Forced Air Induction - MAFia - JLP Thunder Tube - 60 lb Injectors - Kenne Bell Boost A Pump - Afco Heat Exchanger - Walbro 255 Fuel Pumps - Accufab SBTB - Denso Plugs - JLP IC Reservoir - PI Stall Converter - Weapon X cops - Factory Tech Valve Body - JLP Comp R Exhaust - QA1 Shocks - Beltech Drop Springs - PST CF Driveshaft - Flex Form Fiberglass Leafs - JLP Shackles - Hotchkis Sway Bars - JLP Traction Bars - RotorPro Brakes - Aeroforce Interceptor Gauges - DiabloSport Predator - JLP Dyno Tune - Detroit Truetrac - Forte and Grabbers - Bogarts and Hoosiers
Yeah I like them they were sure hell of a lot better than the good years that came on here
Im on 420s as well. Not too bad, probably my second choice of all the tires Ive had for this truck behind Yokohama Parada spec-X. (for all season performance, I am in the NW afterall)
Yeah I can't complain they have saved my *** a couple times
Port is good 25-40 hp and 15-30 ft lbs
