[QUOTE="F150SVT, post: 8995, member: 353"] Like everyone else.....I need more power. Not sure why.....but [B][COLOR="Red"]I NEED more power![/COLOR][/B] :gr_grin: :gr_grin: Its a man thing.....If you are a woman, you probably wouldn't understand...J/K :gr_grin: One of the things I started looking at, are tuners. I have seen some of the posts about some of the different tuners. So...I fired off an email to another tuner manufacturer(Bully Dog) inquiring to see if they made tuners for the Raptor. This is the response I received. [I][COLOR="DarkOrange"]Hi Michael, I apologize, but as the Raptor is essentially tuned by Ford before it comes off of the assembly line, we do not offer an additional tune for it. I’m sorry for the inconvenience,[/COLOR][/I] This got me wondering...Has anyone seen any dyno numbers from someone who does not manufacture a tuner? The only numbers I have seen have been provided by the manufacturers of the tuners. Some of you who purchased them will say you have "seen an increase in performance". I have been down this road before and purchased something because someone "said" they saw an increase in performance. Like everyone else who read it, I went out and purchased it! I actually saw a [B][COLOR="Red"]decrease[/COLOR][/B] in performance after I added that after market part. I realize all of these manufacturers have a reputation and would never "fudge" the numbers to sell products. [I]I wonder how hard it would be to manipulate the dyno numbers to make them "appear" more in their favor[/I]? What could be done to make the numbers work for them? [I]Maybe the first dyno was done with a cold truck, and second dyno(added tune) was done immediately after first dyno[/I]? This would have warmed all of the fluids and grease for the second dyno. [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Have any of you had your truck on a dyno to see if it actually had any gains?[/COLOR] Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree.... [/QUOTE]
