If you’re looking for the best tunes for your 6.7 Powerstroke, I highly recommend the SCT X4. It’s known for significantly improving power and torque, especially for towing heavy loads.

I second that! I’ve used the Smarty tune and it really helped with my towing capacity. It’s great for those who need extra power under load.

Just installed a H&S Mini Maxx, and I’m blown away by the difference in performance! Towing feels smoother, and the extra torque is noticeable even when just driving around town.

Nice! I’ve heard great things about H&S. Do you find that it affects fuel economy as well? I’m curious how much of a trade-off there is with all that power.

I’m running the Edge Evolution for my 6.7 Powerstroke and love its performance. It’s user-friendly and has multiple tuning options for varying needs, which is a big plus.

Edge is a solid choice! I noticed a substantial improvement in my torque when I switched from stock settings. Plus, the monitor is incredibly helpful.

To be honest, I had a bad experience with a lesser-known tune. It didn’t provide the power I expected and I ended up with some issues. Stick to brand names!

That’s a valid point. Quality matters, especially when tuning a performance engine. It’s scary how some tunes can mess with engine reliability.

I’m just trying to find the right balance between performance and fuel efficiency. Any suggestions on tunes that don’t sacrifice one for the other?

That’s a great question! I’ve heard the Banks Power tune offers good performance while still being mindful of fuel usage. Might be worth checking out!

I’m really happy to see this topic! For fuel efficiency on the 6.7 Powerstroke, I highly recommend the SCT X4 with a custom tune. It balances power and efficiency really well.

That’s a great starting point! I’ve also had success with the Bully Dog GT. It definitely improves fuel economy and makes the drive more enjoyable.

While custom tunes are great, don’t forget that your driving habits play a huge role in fuel efficiency. Keeping it steady under 65 mph has worked wonders for me!

15

Absolutely! I’ve noticed a significant difference when I stop heavy acceleration and braking. It’s all about that smooth driving!

What about the Edge Insight CTS3? I’ve heard it not only tunes but also monitors efficiency in real-time. Any feedback on that?

17

The Edge Insight is fantastic for monitoring, but I haven’t seen it specifically boost fuel efficiency like a dedicated tune does. Still, it’s a handy tool!

18

Just for fun, have any of you tried using eco-driving techniques? I always joke around with my buddies that I drive like an old lady to save on diesel!

19

Haha! I can relate. Slower driving definitely helps, but imagine how much it would save if I could add a little performance without losing the savings!

Does anyone find themselves arguing about the best tune? I mean, different setups can lead to wildly different results. What works for one might not work for another.
