The two graph captures are from an 08 2500 series QC 4x2 , 5.7 with Eagle heads Comp 268H cam, the 1st graph is with a .0720 stoich, the 2nd one is the Stock.0694 stoich
Both graphs are High Temp average after a 35 min test drive, over the same roads with a 5k lbs loaded trailer , 2nd graph was cold start, then 1st drive , the 1st graph is after ".0720" tune was loaded and truck driven around 35 min.
this route we take has two 1/8 mile "test hit" spots both drives were able to take advantage on said spots....standing start, hard pull away from start to 60mph, shifting manually in Tow/haul....... almost every where you look on those graphs, the .0720Pe has colder temp averages, look at 1184-2986RPMs which is average RPM range for daily driving.
the .0720 is "warmer" @800-992 , but that's due to engine temp being high to start.
side benefit is the .0720 tune didn't pull any timing during parts where the trans should kick down but doesn't.
the other benefit on these heavy trucks with Eagle heads is, they are less likely to suffer from detonation if you have to run 8X octane gas.
One of tunes Ric(purple ram) has written for a dirt drag truck that we built, keep in mind the truck runs 200ft track, off the trailer then back on trailer till the next event..
the stoich is set @ .0813 ,with No RPM triggers to go "W.O.T" tables, Fueling or Spark.
