Issues with Factory Calibration and How to Fix it?

When you buy a diesel truck, it is already calibrated from the factory. Now, generally, factory tunes are very conventional. You may have bought a truck with 6.7L Power Stroke because the company has advertised the truck has high torque of 1,050ft. lbs. But when you drive the truck, you are simply raged not convinced with the power peak the truck reaches. You may even choose diesel tuning if you are in Oklahoma City, but that might not be helpful enough.

How to fix the factory tuning with the help of custom tuning?

When you get a truck with high torque, the idea is to get the maximum fun from driving your truck. Hence, when you are planning to add over 200ft. lbs. of torque or increase the torque by 120 RWHP, it sounds fun, right? But allow us the liberty to tell you that the sound of shouting ‘fun’ inside your head is nothing but your younger self. Let us think it through a little, shall we? Instead of focusing just on fun, let us focus on the usability of the increased torque.

When you own a truck that has 1,050ft. lbs. of torque, it is using the maximum usable power set by the factory tuning process when you are cruising in your truck down the freeway. When you add more RWHP to your truck with the help of a diesel mechanic, it will use the increased power to reach the peak power number, which is 1,050ft. lbs. for your truck.

The increase in torque will also increase the usable horsepower. As a result, you will feel that the trailer is lighter and your truck is being able to move the trailer much faster than before and you will not have to put extra effort either. This makes the ride more enjoyable as you can drive in your preferred gear without worrying about ‘Dead Pedal’.
