Cool Don't second guess yourself!

I've been running an SCT Livewire from River City Diesel using their 485 Tune. The power is crazy - more than this old man needs but I'm not complaining. I just posted this on another diesel site:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been running RCD's 485 tune for about 4 weeks now. I drove home from Danbury, CT Friday night and then up to Salem, NH this morning. I filled up in Salem, NH and stuffed 12.0 gallons in the truck - that's 233 miles. I did my math 3 or 4 times because I didn't believe it. I then turned on the GPS for the trip back home to make sure the speedometer/odometer was correct - it was dead on. That's 19.41 mpg driving at an average of 72 mph. The best the truck has ever seen was 12.5 - 13 (highway) with either the stock tune or the Banks Six Gun installed. I'd say that's a significant improvement. Crankin' out 485 rwhp and simply stop the re-gens - WOW! I'm headed back to CT tomorrow and I'll check it again to make sure it's not a fluke... I'll post next weekend when I get home.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I bought the SCT because I didn't have the money to even think Spartan so don't get the wrong idea. They still appear to be the top pick for power and track times. Do what you can afford but don't second guess yourself on the SCT either. Hope this helps...
