Following up with a more thorough review - simply put, my 2022 on 35’s feels considerably more alive. I have a whipple IC and intake kit and in 45 degree weather I was seeing about 16psi boost at full throttle through the midrange on the stock calibration. After uploading the tune to the truck I’m seeing closer to 19 peak - on 93 octane fuel. I haven’t had any warm temps to test in yet.
2wd launches are no longer a real option as she will light up the rears on this tune - the 4 auto launches plant you in the seat considerably harder. The 0-30 sprint post-tune on a brake/boosted launch is insane.
More important IMO is that the truck doesn’t feel “tuned” in the sense that your throttle position is so sensitive you have a jumpy pedal - it’s more aggressive than OEM but very manageable. The powerband hits earlier and stays “on” longer. There’s no jolts and it’s not a rough experience, it just feels like it’s got about 20% more power all the time.
Final verdict - I haven’t tried any other tuner on gen3, nor do I plan to do so - this is enough for my daily driver to put me in the fun category each time I drive. I personally measured a 4.7 0-60 but I bet it’s got more in it after the learning is done.
No octane rules, truck feels boosted but not over the top - GREAT shifting and best of all, easy flashing. I’m thoroughly impressed. On top of that, Johnny at HammerBuilt has been on top of the customer service - taking my call on a Saturday to ensure I got him the proper data, responding to texts etc.. Feels like old school customer service with these guys, with a great product to boot.
Well done Hammerbuilt and Gearhead crew!
