    You would be surprised how much better it will run with "just" a tune. I run at that weight often but not every day. It will pull better at 110 with a tune than at 60 without. You will have a very happy driver and the guy that buys the fuel will like it too!

    I had a ISX 530 non egr, 18 speed 355 rears. in my 2003 Kenworth nothing special about it, but i could top Homestake pass in Montana almost Grossed out at 50 mph. I got an average of 5.89 mpg not the best but it was an awesome engine...

    KROOSER as a matter of fact i did just that. And you may not believe it but it was a MACK. It was fast as all get out. But it wouldn't pull Mt. Eagle over 30 mph. you could be going as fast as you could go around the curves at the bottom starting up but it would fall flat as a 238 detroit. If youve been around very long you know how bad they pulled.Told the boss didn't care what he did to it but i was tired of getting passed by every one. Turned out it had the wrong rearends in it. Not what he ordered and the ecm wasn't programmed properly. After the dealer changed the rears and put in the right program it wasn't as fast but it would go over Mt. Eagle at 55 grossed out.
