how or where would i go to look at getting a start up tune? a friend has the HP tuners Pro and i'm going to just pay him to get more credits and were going to tune the truck ourselves but i need a starting point. its going to be a SD tune #60 lb injectors 10-12 lbs boost ect i can provide all the details if needed.
if someone on here could do one that would be awesome!
hptuners has their own forum, you could start there.
yeah i'm going to ask there as well just figured i might get something pretty close from someone running a similar setup on here.Quote:

Get the wide band! You'll be glad you did!
Send me your info and I might have something if it's close. Wideband for sure!
You need a wideband to tune safely and maximize results.

i know sounds scarey huh lolQuote:

Also, if you get pro you can get a mail order tune from Nelson and do scans and he will tweek it forever, you can see what he is changing in the tune to get results. Just my $0.02
I also have had a nelson tune since i started do'n mods on my truck. I've been extremly happy with them up till now. I just did a T-56 magnum swap (had a NV3500 5 speed) on my ride and had nelson sent me a tune. Like i said up till now they've been great, but since i put that tune in the speedo wont go above 25mph (was going 75 according to the garmen) and my service brake system light on the dash came on along with the ABS and parking brake light... IDK what they sent me (probably a ford tune xD) but it does not agree with my setup...
Im probably gonna have to drive 2 hrs to the closest dyno and get it dyno tuned... Fail
My ABS and parking brake light came on due to a bad wheel bearing. Aren't those controlled by the bcm anyways? Have you checked the speed sensor on the trans to see if it may be the problem with your speedometer?
Tire siZe in tune can cause abs to act up
All of those things could easily be unrelated to your tune and could completely to do with wiring issues when you did the swap.Quote:
