HP Numbers?

[skbishop90]

I was wondering on the horsepower numbers some of the members here are pushing on their "daily drivers". I know some have blowers, cam, and turbos. I wish I could afford that but I've done the basic bolt ons and Im curious on what people are running in their rides.

Also, what kind of numbers should I see with my current set up with a tune? I had it tuned by a local tune shop and to be honest, Im really not impressed. Black Bear tunes have been highly recommended but I stayed away just bc I wanted to stay local. Maybe I should reconsider in the future based on the answer to this question. See my signature for current mods.

Don't see your signature?

Good question. Probably hard to come by though, not many people dyno these trucks for bolt on's. Usually more serious upgrades are done to warrant a dyno run.

As for the local to a BB tune, not sure you'll see a big difference unless the local tune you got sucks, which may very well be. I am happy with my BB tune, and I will just plan performance upgrades around their local tune dates. They come to this area usually twice a year so not a big problem for me to get it retuned.

Swap in some ngk tr6 4177 plugs, do a oil change and install a aem uego wideband 02, then go back to the tuner.
Tell Him his last tune was for sissys, and this time to push it.

If you already have a dyno tune shouldn't you know what your HP is? If so please share

How do those 4.10s go along with the bolt ons?

Gearing is almost always the correct answer when performance and larger tires are involved. However, it is not cheap, especially if 4WD. If 33" tires, then 4.10. If 35" tires, then 4.56.

Don't forget, you can get tune updates for free via mail too!

Ahh, good to know. I forgot about that. Thanks!

On the chart posted, it looks like all the gains begin just over 4000 rpm.

 

[JennaBear]

And lost power at low and mid RPM.

 

[skbishop90]

Hints the reason I didnt have a lot of faith in the Tuner. Is this a normal power band for these Hoes? It pulls like crazy from about 3500 up. I was hoping for something a little lower. I dont want to put a stall in just for a few hundred RPM difference. If I had a cam or something, than maybe.

 

[Walkercraig01]

Yea mine is a dog until bout 4000 rpm. It's stock so maybe that helps. I would love to have more low end grunt.
