yeah. dont believe anyone that says they used a laptop to tune the car if all that's in it is intake and exhaust. Tuning anything with a laptop means they replaced the ECU, which usually means most of your nice OEM features no longer work (unless they used a piggyback or did some heavy wiring.) And even then, there's no reason to do that unless you've done serious, serious mods to warrant replacing the stock fuel programming entirely.

Next time say "What did he tune, the radio?" lol

Thanks. A GS would have been more practical, but I was able to trade my truck as-was straight for this. Worked out well.

I drove 150 miles after work yesterday to swap. It drove home great and held out a surprising 24.5 MPG.....conditions were perfect LOL
