Had an 08 F250, truck is a turd and kept having problems with the exhaust manifold bolts braking and the DPF filter, bought a DPF delete and a Spartan tuner set for 275HP and the truck was mean before the tuner i wouldnt pass a vehicle cause it was so slow but the tuner woke it up. About a year later the torque converters went to slipping and i traded it in. Granted the torque converter issue was me and the tuners fault cause is stayed romping on it. Now people say with it programmed you will stretch the head bolts and stuff and i disagree because a 275 tune and me behind the wheel would have definitely caused them to stretch

Thanks, I don't know what any of that is but I'll keep an eye out. I'm just using it for around town stuff and to hunt in. Maybe I'll get lucky

This made me laugh. Try jamming 62psi of boost in there, and see what happens. IIRC, I could only hit ~30 on the stock tune

Eta: It was a bad mother fricker when it ran. I could beat a ZL1 to around 80 or 85 every time on the 350 tune. Never got beat by a Mustang or Charger. Stock Vettes wouldn't pull away too fast on the interstate. I stuck with the 275 because the 310 and 350 were un-driveable normally. Never raced Pepperidge, but the only truck on the road that could hang was a H&S tuned F250.

.....and then it was broken for a few years
