I would like to take my F-150 to a local shop to have it dyno tested and to see if the mechanic can level out the HP/torque across the RPM range, and the mechanic uses HP Tuners. Don't get me wrong, the SCT tune is pretty good. I'd like to use it as a starting point and see if we can't tweak the settings a little to maybe get a couple more HP, a little extra boost, and possibly flatten the curve a little.
I've searched through the forum and read that it is possible. But, I'm a novice at tuning. So, I'm not sure how to even get a read. I know the SCT gives a strategy of MPTECHO, how do I even read it? Also, I've read you can change the OSID to make the tune readable in HPT, but I don't know how to do it.
Can anyone provide the steps/instructions on how to do it? And before anyone catches feelings, the answer is no...I am not doing this to plagiarize. I'd just like to get the most out of my investment. I've put a lot into this truck in the last couple of months, and would very much like to see her at her best.
Thanks
