    Gear Head Auto Octane Tune

    That’s not mine. I took it at face value. Mods are listed as tune and upgraded intercooler. I took it directly off of GearHead’s website. Not my personal data.

    Gear Head Auto Octane Tune

    I looked into the JDM Tune at first but it was a little more pricey and it sounded almost too good to be true to hit those types of numbers on a caned tune on 93 octane. Those are ZFG numbers! The JDM Tune claims 100+ HP & 150+ Torque.... Based on the dyne that GearHead posted this is what I...

    Gear Head Auto Octane Tune

    Also using the GH A/O tune here in So Flo and loving it. The sequential transmission shifts and elimination of the Sport Mode gear hold was worth the cost of the tune alone. The added power is the cherry on top and I think the truck now drives as it should have from the factory. Even the Sport...

    E30 Fuel Tune WITHOUT Upgrading Intercooler?

    If I did my math right, that’s basically 3 gallons of e85 added in a full tank of 93, correct?

    E30 Fuel Tune WITHOUT Upgrading Intercooler?

    Oh! Right on! Ok so I’ll keep the mixture closer to e20 then. If I understand you correctly - having more than e20 won’t hurt, but it also won’t really help with this SPECIFIC Gearhead AO Tune.

    E30 Fuel Tune WITHOUT Upgrading Intercooler?

    What is the main reason people typically don’t do things? PRICE. I have a family and can’t justify spending that, regardless of the benefit. The Gearhead tune was relatively cheap and came with an instant benefit in performance and transmission function. I was a huge hater of the 10 speed...

    E30 Fuel Tune WITHOUT Upgrading Intercooler?

    Impressive bro! Couple questions: Gearhead recalibrates the tune once an intercooler is installed correct? Did you have them also recalibrate it for a higher ethanol percentage? Also how did you come up with the e24 mixture rather than full blown e30? Is there a specific reason or benefit...

    E30 Fuel Tune WITHOUT Upgrading Intercooler?

    Damnnnn! The intercooler is definitely a weak spot! Kind of a stupid follow up question, but theoretically a tuned heat soaked engine would still outperform an untuned heat soaked engine right? Or is the heat soak so severe that it limits the performance to a “safe zone” regulated by the ecu?

    E30 Fuel Tune WITHOUT Upgrading Intercooler?

    Totally understand and wish I could! I am just being completely realistic here because unfortunately I don’t think the intercooler upgrade is ever going to happen :/ I’m sure there’s some other guys here in the same boat too so I appreciate your advice. Im going to play with the ethanol this...

    E30 Fuel Tune WITHOUT Upgrading Intercooler?

    So is it safe to say that: 1. I would make more power running an ethanol blend of e30 on the my current auto-octane tune 2. I would make even MORE power running e30 on an e30 tune (because I assume it accounts for the ethanol more so than a regular tune) 3. I can do either 1 or 2 WITHOUT the...

    4th to 3rd gear downshift in sport mode

    Can confirm that the GearHead tune fixed this downshift issue. I can now drive in sport mode without breaking my passengers necks every time we’re slowing down. HUGE improvement with the transmission on this tune!

    E30 Fuel Tune WITHOUT Upgrading Intercooler?

    I just got the AO GearHead Tune & I really enjoy the extra torque and the transmission tune. It actually probably drives as it should have from the factory. That being said I feel it is missing some power top end so I was now debating doing the E30 tune from them since I already have the...

    My 2022 Black ST

    Found 1/2” lug nut covers on Amazon that work perfectly. It is technically for 19mm lug nuts so they fit nice and tight! I did a dab of gorilla glue on each one just in case. Highly recommend using this version of lug nut covers, the previous ones I purchased stuck out too much and didn’t look...

    My 2022 Black ST

    I appreciate that - its not easy my man, honestly having a black truck is giving me OCD trying to keep it clean lol. First, and maybe last, black truck to be honest. Looks great clean, but pain in the ass keeping it that way. My Dark Grey Jeep hid a lot of surface dust/dirt but I didn’t love the...
