2013 Ram I need some schooling...

Hey motorheads I am just starting out with this interface and it has me a little Bewildered. I have a fair amount of knowledge on SBs, but I am a prospect when it comes to tuning. So first thing I need besides math class is a tuner. I live around Kansas City MO area it would be nice to find a local tuner but it wouldn't break my heart if it was long distance. I have a project truck its a 2013 Ram 5.7 1500 standard cab 4x2. Stock for the most part I l installed a belltech 4/2 drop, put a Vararam AirGraber air intake on and just installed a set of LT headers 1.75" primary's to a 3" collectors, high flow cats, custom 2.5 down pipes, Y piped to 3" mid and a Super 44 dual out dumped behind rear wheels. The only thing I have done with the tuner is disable the MDS and modified some shift points. Of course I'm getting DTCs on banks 1 & 2 short term and 02. Timing probably needs advanced etc. but want to use the tuner. turning the distributor probably won't work. its a project truck and is getting stroked next winter. I want to have fun with it before. So I'm Not worried about irreversible damage aggressive but not stupid because I'm needing the knowledge. I will attach a log. Thanks in advance much appreciated.

I'll assume your running a RFE65 ? if so Look in the trans section there's a good right up on how to tune a RFE65.
get some gear in to it 4.10/4.56 , I currently run 4.88s in my 12 , RPM is KING .....period , the stock truck intake will pull to 6-6200 RPMs the 6.4 truck intake will net you another 200 RPMs before it starts toi fall off, the big thing about the truck 6.4 intake is the TQ curve is stronger between 4-5k, under 4 , same as 5.7 , power depends on SRV and injectors tuning.

when my 14 was a "street truck" 1st thing I did was 4.56s , capped the max timing at 22* @ 2800 RPM , upped the RPM limit 7k, left the cam full advance, and upped the SRV 6krpm......
Lots a gains in getting these to hook, spend the money on good rear trailing arms , the oem ones deflect even in stock form. and since you have already dropped the truck2/4 the Pinion angle is off just enough to start effecting performance.(unless you already fixed that P.I.A issue)

I email tune everyday. If you're interested you can contact me through the email in my sig.
