    new to making my own tunes

    hey guys! I just got my mpvi2 and am still very new to this. I was wondering if someone could share their tune with me so I can see what changes you made and how much. I just want to learn this safely and not change something too drastically and hurt the truck.
    my truck is a 2004.5 HO with an NV5600. Only mods are a MBRP exhaust and fass 150.
    Thanks in advance!

    Checked the repository, they are all stock when I put in my truck. There's even one that says "race tune" but when you put it in as compare file with the stock tune, nothing is different. And I watched this forum for tunes for the week or so before I got my mpvi2 and didn't see any tunes, even tried to search for them but cant find a thread that has one. I'm sure that if I were to just comb through this place for hours I could find them, but I thought it might be more efficient to just ask directly-

    My truck is fairly modded, but i try to make modest tunes. After i put stock injectors back in and test, ill try and share with you. My tune wont be exactly what you want though. I tune for high altitude, large turbo, and auto trans. It is 04.5 though.

    The first tune that Dom posts in this thread is a great starting point and perfect for seeing where to start. I ran this tune for about a week, made some minor adjustments and ran for another week. At the time I was looking to do the same as what you?re asking. I am now making a lot more power running a completely different tune that I loosely based off of another one of Dom?s tunes.

    They are new BMS 50hp from exergy. They smoke too much with my laggy large turbo and living at 10000ft. Too high and too cold up here.

    More challenging

    Correct. Very challenging. 30% less dense air up here. Add constantly cold temps and it's a recipe for smoke.
