But really, any particular reason you are wanting them?
Apparently you have never drove a MPT perf tuned EB

Traction sucks and the wheel hop is horrible when boost launching at anything over 1600rpm. If I can fix the wheel hop then its going to make things much better.

Alot of people doesn't understand how quick these ebs are tuned, I can punch it at 40mph and both tires break loose hard enough it triggers the traction control.

With the new PRX MPT tune there is gains of 110hp/160 torque over factory.

Coy they should help immensely!!!

You might want to look for tires better suited for performance rather than all terrain also....you'll get stickier rubber compounds with performance tires...IMO

Absolutly, That's why I ditched my A/Ts and went with the Nitto 421 tires a couple months ago. Really wanted the 420s which is a very sticky tire but they didnt have them in the right size.

Shoot. Can that motor hold that much? I'd hope you have a bigger intercooler on the way too.

My truck breaks the tires loose at 40 MPH too, and it's stock.

I'll probably end up getting an MPT tune with the new HP Tuners nGauge they released.

Also, just buy a set of 295 DRs to drive around on. haha

These motors can handle a pretty good amount. MPT's truck is putting out 637/700 with the PRX tune, Cavalli Turbos, Circle D Converter, Intercooler, Meth and a 40 shot and they have been running it over a year now.

Trucks running Just the PRX tune and nothing else is around 410/530.

I've been tuned for 45k miles now and the truck still runs super strong, i have no worries with MPT.

I guess I meant on the turbo side of things, at what point do those run out of steam? I'd imagine they are fairly small to begin with an and only flow up to a certain about before they will over powered

Be careful up there...70 degrees already this morning and sitting here with the AC on drinking coffee. We have rain on the way and winds up to 40 mph later with an approaching cold front.

Predicting 6"-8" of snow with winds over 35mph....that's going to be ugly...IMO
