Tuner and performance
I have a 2008 ford f-150. I changed the gearing on the truck to 4:56 gears with 31 inch tires, I also have a Banks Ottomind tuner that I've used to compensate for the tires and gears. The problem is when I use these settings my performance lags and gas mileage goes down. When I go back to the orignal settings there is noticeable difference in performance and gas mileage but of course now my speedometer is way off. Any suggestions thnks
