No disrespect intended but I ain't buying it with the lift, gears and tires you are running.
Please explain how you think the results were faked? I'm just curious.

The tuner uses owner input for information to establish speed. If the tire size is not correct it throws everything off. I have a SuperChip 3865 on my truck and had to play a bit with it to get my speedo to match the local police radar gun.

Brother, don't get me wrong. I'm not hating anything. I'm glad he has and all the rest of us have a common interest in our trucks and are willing to share. It was you who used the word "faked" I only want to point out that I think with the setup he has, he is pushing too good of times. As I pointed out it is not always easy to get an acurate number for the tuner to work corretly.

Rydes, I was debating with you, I apparently according to what you have shown am wrong, Im wondering why there is no video posted up yet, but the reason why I have not been on is because I work. I was semi trucks and I work weekends, weekends are harder for me to get away on the computer.

Listen. I am going to say this once more. The tuner is setup properly, like it has been since the first day I tuned my truck. But there is no more reason for me to prove anything, to anybody. If you chose not to believe me, fine. To each their own. I will continue to work on my motors and do the same mods, like I always have. If all my times are pretend, then let me go live in my pretend world made out of fake times, and fake pictures, etc etc. I am not going to defend myself on here anymore, nor try to share any tips for my magnum friends. Peace.

fyi: Speedo is accurate, exactly by setting re-cal to 37" tires, matches big huge police radar signs to EXACT speed, not +1 or -1, dead on exact.

once again not hating, we just would like to be able to have that kind of power out of our 5.9. Shilo, yours aint that fast with half the tire weight and no 4WD drag. not jacked up(which does affect speed) I just cant figure out why there is such a dramatic difference between his motor and everyone elses. I am not calling him a liar, I am not saying he is faking numbers! I am saying it is unrealistic, UNLESS there is a big time MOD we don't know about.

sorry to ruffle your feathers rydesolow we are just trying to make sense of this....

Yeah, because I truly am totally baffled man, I have worked on 3 different magnum engines, all 3 of which put out great power, but until I went farther into the engine I didn't get near that much power. I had to do throttle body, sct tuner, borla exhaust, longtubes, roller rockers, and more even to be able to get that kind of power out of them, and the biggest tires I had on any of them were 33's. So I am truly baffled.
