JLT intake and tunes from MPT

Getting ready to pull the trigger on some new tunes. They said they have great results with a JLT intake. I've never heard of them until now. Anyone have any experience with them?

MPT gives you a deal when you buy both.

If you talking about MPT, they are a great company and have awesome tunes for either the 5.0 or the EB along with the 3v 5.4..

I have had MPT tunes for over 30k miles now and truck runs incredibly strong, customer service is top notch and tunes are safe.

Also have 5 star and have around 20k miles on them, truck has been tuned 50k miles between both companies.

I do know with the 5.0 they saw pretty decent gains with the JLT.. I think it would be worth a shot.

Unless I read it incorrectly, they say "this much better over stock", but I'd like to know the results for someone who has/had custom tunes with the stock intake and then later retuned for an jntake, such as the JLT.

You have to retune when you put an intake on a 5.4 3v or it will run too lean.

Right, but I'm looking for a comparison; tuned with intake and the same truck tuned with stock intake.

I just ordered 3 tunes without the intake. 91 octane perf, tow, and eco.

I'm gonna go with my instinct that a CAI won't make enough difference for the 200-350 bucks.

Just do a mod to the stock intake, that won't require custom tunes.

Tunes here already! Wow cant wait to try. My bad that I just filled up w 87. I'd throw it octane booster to get me 91+ if I knew that stuff worked.

Anyone done that?

It won't get you to 88 much less 91.

You should have gotten at least one 87 tune.

I have those from VMP Tuning from many years ago. I have been running 87 tow exclusively. The 87 eco is a pig in comparison. The other is a 92 or 93 perf but never use it; that octane here is hit and miss.

Yea, Never do the octane booster. When they advertise points.. its .5

So your 87 would maybe be 87.5 octane

Only stuff i trust is the Torco Race Octane booster, its the real deal but about 20 or 30 bucks a can .
