[QUOTE="AZDezRat, post: 1679855, member: 53315"] First, yes, I know how to search. So many tuner threads, it’d just be easier to ask my questions. Answers should be brief I think… I recently picked up a ‘13, that came highly modified. But, I got it from a dealer (something I never do if I can avoid, but it was such a damn good deal, I had to!), so I have no access to the orig owner, and therefore have very little info on the truck. What I do know: 26k mi Whipple Supercharger Has the big heat exchanger w/dual fans Has a 3.375” Pulley Has what appears to be the Whipple supplied CAI. Has ARH headers & full system Does not have cats May have aftermarket cams. It lopes pretty good @ idle. No way to know as far as I can tell… Could have other internal mods, but, no idea. No idea on the gearing. The speedo is off by about 6.5%. Has 37’s Now, the truck HAD a tuner associated with it, as the SCT manual and little CD was in the console. But, no tuner. So… A couple things. The thing has loads of power. It’s an fing beast. So, I definitely am not looking for more, lol. And, it runs and drives about as perfect as one could hope. Throttle response, feel, shifting, etc is spot on. So, what’s the rub? Well, the best mileage I’ve been able to get with it is 10mpg, all freeway. Typically getting about 8mpg around town. I don’t have a super heavy foot either really. And I’ve babied it just to see what I can get out of it, as far as mpg. And, regardless, best I can do is 10. So, I’m hoping to get myself an ‘87 octane economy’ and ‘87 octane towing’ tune, and would definitely like to retain the tune I already have. Questions: If I get a tuner (SCT, or whatever), and get a couple emailed tunes, can I save/keep my current tune if/when I want to go back to it? What kind of mpg gain can I reasonably expect to get from an ‘economy’ tune? Is it possible that the existing tune has imbedded in it somewhere/somehow, who provided it, and maybe even what mods the truck has? Should I be looking at an actual custom Dyno tune, since I don’t 100% know what’s been done to the motor (cams, etc)? If so, would they be able to whip me up an ‘economy’ tune? Or, do they just focus on max power? Is there any real difference between the SCT X4 and Livewire TS+, except for the touch screen? I think I’d prefer the TS+, so I can use it’s gauge functions (no boost gauge in this truck). Any general advice is appreciated on this topic. [/QUOTE]
