More Power - F350

Category: Gear Head — Feydakin @ 9:39 am

We traded in the Corvette a while back for a bigger truck.. The horse trailer and everything else were just killing my Dodge 1500, so we go this Ford F350 Dually with the turbo deisel.. Wonderful truck.. Plenty of power and very comfortable..

But there is never really enough power..

So I had the guys down at Byron’s hook me up with a new Superchips programmer.. (Part#: 1805) Three basic settings, economy, towing, and performance.. We got it mostly for the econo setting.. Current gas mileage isn’t bad, but 13.6mpg on nearly $3/gallon deisel gets old real fast.. Since I just picked up the truck this morning I don’t have any new numbers yet.. But, it’s set on performance right now anyway so I doubt I’ll see much improvement there..

What I have seen is a huge increase in power.. I didn’t think it would be this notciable.. But I can now stand on the gas at a stop sign and spin the tires.. And not just a little spin, and whole lot of smoke and rubber spin.. With a dually.. That’s about 32″ of ruber contacting the road and it will still bust them loose and go..

This should be fun..
