What We Think
It was obvious to us that every customer who showed up for this particular live-tuning event left satisfied. Each customer had his own chip created, with unique tunes specific to his Power Stroke, and the customer's file was archived in DP-Tuner's customer database for future reference or troubleshooting.
Whether you've got a few random bolt-on products, a mildly built, or even a heavily modified 7.3L Power Stroke, live-tuning can truly dial in your combo and get the most performance, efficiency, and drivability out of it. Tipton's willingness to not only work with the experienced, modified Power Stroke owner, but also with those new to diesels, says a lot about his commitment to diesel performance, and his customers as a whole.
How You Can Get Your 7.3l Power Stroke Live-Tuned:
Many aftermarket companies offer live-tuning sessions at their shops, but only a few will come to you to tune your truck. Getting Tipton to come to an event and live-tune is as simple as rounding up a minimum of eight truck owners interested in being tuned, having available shop space and tools, and room to test and tune the trucks (preferably at a track, or in low-traffic, open-road areas).
