In your case, I'd make a shop appointment and head about 50 miles up to PHP in Pendergrass.

I second that motion. Too easy to get a dyno tune that will get the most out of a tune.

Hi.

Other option if yer up to a roadtrip is to drive to Bradenton, Florida. VMP is having a Mobile Dyno-fest, March 6-9, 2014.

You will not find a better deal than getting it live-tuned at one of Justin's events.

check out: www.vmptuning.com

Cost savings will almost offset the trip expenses, lol. Free hot-dawgs and pop! Flarda Sunshine! Whaddaya waitin' fer ???

You DO need to register - and it fills up fast, so if yer inneristed, don't delay, aight?

I wonder how much power I should expect to gain from a dyno tune? the only performance upgrades I have done to this truck is 2.25" true dual exhaust with a magnaflow x pipe and mufflers.. im about to have 4.56 gears but that will be all..i don't plan on doing anything else. what yall think?

Hi.

As compared to a really good mail-order tune, you may gain a bit more grunt, but you will know yer truck is 100% dead-nuts perfect in terms of MAF transfer function, A/F's, and you will also have a graphical record of yer RWHP, RWTQ, and A/F's...

VMP's Event tuning on their Mobile load-cell Dynojet is only $100 - you won't find it anywhere else that cheap.. And he is a Top-Shelf F150 tuner. I know this from personal experience. And so is Bill, so you are in that unique "I Can't Lose" position,

good luck
