Did that 450 include dyno pulls as well?
Probably not. The tuner comes with tunes already in it. You can install them in your driveway, then do burnouts down the street, no dyno time needed.

That's more info than was needed.
Question... did you install an AEM wideband?? KNOWING where your A/F ratio is prior to starting the process could have saved $15K.I have a reg cab so I can't speak for the torque management. How ever my engine melted #10 piston in the ring land area shortly after installing the SCT tune. Would I do it again? Hell no! That mistake cost me $15,000.
However I kept my SCT box for now.
I would recommend running the truck on a dyno immediately after installing the tune to verify everything is ok if not adjustments can be made
I did "on the road" pulls and sent the data to Torrie. He did an EXCELLENT job of modifying the files and sending them back quickly. The changes in my truck were impressive. A/F still stays a safe 12.6-12.7:1Better yet do a remote tune with Torrie. He will work with you on the Dyno and send you updates specific to your truck while on the dyno via email pending the results of the previous pull.
No wideband?After installing longtubes, catless mids, magnaflow catback, and a throttle body, it felt like a totally different truck. Made a big difference.... But after I did the SCT tune to take advantage of these mods.... WOW. I't made twice as much difference as the mods themselves did. Get it!
Glad to assist....Torries tunes are definately safe rich. However, not as PIG RICH as the factory tunes. I saw UNDER 11:1 A/F on the factory tune at high RPM WOT.If youre modding the intake/exhaust you're going to need a tune. Im still a little new to these beasts, but ive tuned enough Harleys and carbs to know that once you get them breathing you need to correct the A/F mix. The FI will correct some, but you will still be lean with all the extra air going in.
I run torrie's tune (93 octane currently) and if anything its safely rich.
I wouldn't think his tune caused the issue, but I would think running a bigger TB and cai for an extended period without a proper tune could cause the truck to run lean enough to roast a piston.
If im wrong, please correct me
With a conservative tune, you will pick up a whopping 80 in torque in the low and mid-range, (as Caveman has indictated) where it is most useful.
