    Need Custom Tuning Adjustments For A New VB?

    I have a 2018 RAM 6.7L with custom tuning and transmission tuning, but the tuner did not set the parameters to take advantage of 225 line pressures.

    I have a RaceME Ultra.

    Is there anyone who can help me out?

    I can't bring myself to pay another $600.00 to add it.

    I will probably go back to the box tunes on the RaceME, which has the tuning for it.

    Would rather have the custom tuning as it runs better.

    Friend, if your tuner has your truck running great, return to them.

    No one can see the tune files you have, so you would have to start over again.

    Certain manufacturers, like RevMax, have strict VB and PSI settings for each gear.

    RaceME sets it incorrectly across the board at 225 PSI.

    Please don't be offended, but consider spending the money to avoid potential problems.

    To pay $600 for an adjustment transmission tune seems expensive in cost.

    I might spend $600.00 on a whole set of different custom tunes to try out.

    It's not like these tunes are dyno-tuned for my truck.

    All I can say is I wish you the best, friend, but sometimes cheap isn't the best, but good luck.

    Then spend the $600 and get a completely different custom tuning.

    Yes, it’s expensive, but you get what you pay for.

    Box tunes I would avoid altogether.

    I probably should have gone EFi Live from the beginning seems to be more helpful out there.

    I had EFi Live and the trans tuning sucked bad for me and I had no support.

    I have had IGC service 8 of my trucks, and I have never had a problem or issue with any of them.

    You'd spend more on going with EFi Live unless you already have a system.

    This is excellent advice!

    This is true; RaceME has the pressures set just right in the middle to prevent any code errors.

    Spend the money with a known programmer; IGC will be along shortly to sell you an idea that they claim can provide all you need for a low price.

    No one is better than the OG's.

    Find a shop that will create a VB file tailored to your driving needs.

    NO IT'S NOT A HEMI!
