I have 91 octane max. in MT. Wondering what performance improvement I would see running everrything stock @91 octane with your Tune vs adding the S&B Intake with your Tune (which goosetuned is using in his 11 sec raptor)

also, I have the 37PP and a 2021

No interest in adding anything like intercooler, etc.

trying to decide between Cobb/Goose, JB4 and your tune.

thx
We carry JB4 and this one. Youd realistically be anywhere around 60-80 RWHP gains with no supporting mods

So no benefit to adding a CAI ?

Between the JB4 and your tune, have you seen a preference of one over the other in terms of customer satisfaction

The Gearhead system is an actual tune. It’s octane adaptive. Performance and towing and includes transmission tuning. 21-22 only. No need to send in ECU. Doesn’t work on 23.

JB4 is a piggyback and has different selectable maps based on octane, will write up to E50, no custom TCM tuning. Not a hard tune, just a piggyback and more warranty friendly. Works on 21-24 trucks.

Thanks .. I'm not ready yet. What I really want to see are some Dragy times of a Gen 3 running either of these tunes .. something that neither company appear to provide. I care more about actual performance of 0-60, 1/8 mile then looking at a chart that shows RWHP improvements.

My buddy with a Draggy that I used to test wilwood brakes is an oil worker.

Next time hes around near me ill grab it off him and run a time but it may be a while

what are gains of JB4 alone especially if it is more warranty friendly. can octanes be changed "on the fly" i used to run a hemifever on a ram and had to fully upload a tune every single time.

will i need an intercooler or anything with the JB4 ? worried about running too hot

i have a 2024 truck


Also, is there a link i searched apollo optics for gearhead and JB4 and didnt see anything

We made a few website changes recently. Some items are still loading. Heres the JB4. If youd like the geadhead shoot me a message and I can write up a custom cart for you.

You can quick change the map on your phone. No intercooler needed or anything like that. If youre in a hotter climate itd be beneficial however
