Currently have DRD tunes, recently added a Fleece Cheetah, and need a retune.
Since DRD is no longer in the game, I considered getting the Warp Tuning dongle.
I know I won't be able to tune better than DRD.
A custom tune from RaceME is $475; the dongle is $450.
I can always reload my DRD tunes and be out $450.
I want to be able to data log and "try" to create tunes myself.
Is there anyone on here who has created their Warp tunes?

I have done both your thoughts and read a few reference guides.
Most are for a different tuning platform. However, the principles are the same.
I suggest collecting data on how the tune is performing in the current state.
I suspect the new turbo moves more air and might need more fuel.
I would also strongly suggest monitoring exhaust temp; it could get pretty expensive by adding too much fuel and roasting some pistons.

I asked Ray this same question when I had the VGT setup.
He mentioned it's a drop in turbo, which does not require a retune.
However, if you choose to get a retune, it will give you the benefit of maxing out the turbo with the stock injectors.

I asked Ray as well, and he told me I was good as long as it ran well and there weren't any codes.
I might get the dongle to see what it's all about; it would be nice to know more about the tuning side.
The worst case is I'm out $450; I always have Ray's tunes to load back in.
Well, I'm buying a dongle cause it's only $450, and I want to see what's going on.
I also want to read my data logs.
I don't plan on writing tunes anytime soon.
I will someday need/want more info.
So I say go for it; know what your doing before you put a tune in your truck.

My dongle will be here tomorrow.
We could be brothers by your way of thinking.
It's only money and only buys less by the day.
I would spring for the dongle.
Better now than later.

I got the dongle and have been adjusting my stock tune.
I can't quite figure out the data logger.
I have been just driving normally and writing down parameters for the transmission, so I can start tuning that first.
