More power

Hoping to hear from some guys that have more experience with this. Im looking for a little more power. Would love s supercharger but dont have that kinda cash right now. Was wondering what other things people have done to get a little extra. ECU flash,tuning or even throttle response. (Not that it really needs more response) Anything will be helpful, thanks.

 

Nm found a forum on this. Not gonna happen without a supercharger....

 

Bulldog tuner will help with response

 

I was considering that. For some reason it seems like it had more response when I first got it. It's not that old

 

Just leave the tow haul button on lol that’s what I do

 

I may have done that at a red light or two. Lol

 

I put it on everytime I’m in the truck.

 

Sometimes I forget, then other times I wonder weather or not it would eventually hurt anything. In theory it shouldn't.

 

Ya I don’t think so. No different then using the shifter to stay in a gear longer

 

When I first got the truck I could stomp it at about 20 and roast the tires. Now it just goes, either down on power,not as much grab in the trans as brand new or the gouges in the tires offer more grip...I dunno

 

The truck learns how you drive and adjusts. When I picked mine up it said 600 miles to E. Now it’s around 430 at fillup. If I unplug the battery it’ll go back up until it relearns. Yours might be doing something similar.

 

Get it tuned with long tube headers and custom Dirtydeeds exhaust.

 

Well you know the pro comes with decent headers and true dual exhaust

 

Yeah mine said 595 now it's at about 480

 

The pro does not come with headers. It comes with the same exhaust manifolds as everyone else with a 5.7 L. The true dual exhaust is fine but once you jump up to long tube headers it’s beneficial to upgrade that as well. Long tube headers can get you up to around 40 to 45 horse power if I remember correctly with a tune. Without going long tubes larger exhaust really doesn’t help on these trucks. Maybe a little.

@dirtydeeds

 

I'm no expert but you don't get better headers and the true dual doesn't give you that much power

 

Highly recommend Keith @dirtydeeds. He'll give you an honest, no BS recommendation on what's necessary and what isn't, based on your wallet and preference. He's gone above and beyond for ALOT of members on here.

 

If anything I’ve heard you lose a little low-end and gain a little high-end with TRD exhaust.

 

Preach brother! He has helped me out greatly

 

I was gonna send you to ovtuned.com, but then realized you have a 2019, and they havent unlocked your model year yet. There isnt really anything released from anyone for your model year, that is "inexpensive", yet. There is super charger, gear changes and such, but other then that.. its a waiting game.

 

Yeah, there shouldn't be as much back pressure in the system because its more open

 

After installing the BAMufflers 6" catback I noticed significant low end gain and its a lot of fun now

 

I thought I felt a little butt dyno low-end as well. And I added a bully dog which may have helped a little bit, especially with the throttle response.

 

Ok well... from the book of Isayah chapter one, verse two: The earth was dark, Tundras were quiet and seeking power. This displeased almighty Keith @dirtydeeds so be breathed life into them, opened up their blind exhausted eyes and said, "Let there be power....and then there was power".

 

Once I have not bald tires and redo my front brakes, headers and a DAP tune are next on the list.

 

Ok correction, stock 2019 comes with 4-2-1 tubular exhaust manifold. Not the big hunk of steel most everything else has

 

Long tubes over factory 4-2-1 manifold

 

I would agree with this. If you really want the power, wait until Matt figures things out for the 2019 ecu and pair it with a supercharger. You will get better results with Matt's tune than the bully.
