[QUOTE="B E N, post: 1553091, member: 33355"] Having dug deeply into the tuning on these: dyno tune isn't anything magical. It would take a lot of dyno time to be able to replicate the tuning knowledge that JDM or VMP have. A single dyno tuning session on a power adder truck is likely to leave you with a truck that makes mediocre peak power and has terrible driveability. There aren't any unique parameters or specifications that would make one truck different enough from another with the same upgrade package, you are much better off to have a tune written by one of these companies that is truly smart on the truck than the local dyno guy who may have never touched a raptor before. There are pages and pages of parameters for one of these trucks, thousands of things that could be changed, having someone who knows which ones to change to achieve a specific goal is what gets the job done well. Fortunately the ECM strategy is similar to a coyote so most mustang tuners should be able to get through it. The rest is just the ECM reacting to sensor inputs, and doing what it is told by the tune and strategy. Download VCM suite and a raptor tune from the hptuners forum, you will quickly see how much stuff there is for a neophyte to work through. Ford sends every batch of these out with the exact same tune, works fine. Dyno tuning is really only necessary if your doing something where there isn't already a known recipe. There is a lot of freedom in the tuning, its not perfect science that is only obtainable on a dyno. [/QUOTE]
