I have been running the +275 tune for about 5000 miles with no problem. I seem to average around 15 in the city and 20 (unloaded) on long trips.

I recently flashed to the +210 for towing my TT (Rockwood UltraLight - 7500 gross) and had no problems with EGT's - I averaged 13.75 on a 100 mile pull @ 65MPH.

I am going to check into it. I am looking at putting a filter kit on it from K&N as well hope the millage picks up that would be nice.

Sorry if I’m hijacking this thread.
Does our 08 f250 record highest speed and RPM for dealers to void warranty? Also if everything is returned to stock is there still some device saying that I did make modifications to the truck?
Thanks everyone

They can tell you accessed the OBD port, but they don't know what you did. You just tell them you went to AutoZone to see if any codes were in your computer because it was sluggish one day. You know, play stupid.

PRO-4 #31,

Who is your dealer, I see that you are in Riverside. I am looking for a tuner friendly dealer in the area. I currently live in Temecula.

Thanks,

Thumbs up Another positive Spartan customer

Well did the install today and so far i'm another happy Spartan customer. I'm running the 210 tune and theres definitly much more power and truck runs like a dream. Not nearly as much smoke as i imagined. Actually only see a little if 3/4 or more throttle. As for mileage I can only say I cleared the computer and drove for 104 miles down flat interstate and hovered around 21mpg. Now is that right well i don't know. I do know that normally the needle is a good bit further off the full mark during that trip so i'm very positive the mileage is better just don't know how much better. Before, the computer on that same trip would say 16.5mpg so obviously i'm hoping the computer is close. My truck now feels like it can breath and feels very relaxed on the hwy.
