5.9 magnum tuning?

johnparts said

So guys that run the 5.9 magnum motor what is out there to tune them with? Being a speed density f/i setup swapping the cam or the intake will mess with the ve tables and make the engine run like crap so is there tuning software out there for these engines?

What year PCM? If if it JTEC you can use SCT. You can buy a handheld tuner and pay someone to tune or buy a proracer package that lets you do everything yourself. I bought the PRP+Handheld for $250 ... the MSRP is $1000 .... sometimes deals can be had on this stuff.

Here is an example of what the PRP can do, I am meangreen BTW:

The learning curve is steep though, so if your not a DIY type guy you can pay someone to write you a tune for about $150

I also used an Accel DFI setup on the same truck. That was a million times better, but more expensive and wasn't smoggable on my truck.

You will need datalogging with the SCT setup. Shoot me a PM if you go either of these directions and I can give you a hand setting up a base tune ....
