Mopar1973Man Economy Tune 2024.11.1
Disclaimer
- This tune has seriously high timing so be sure you have upgraded to head studs and are willing to dive out on a limb with me. This tune can run the full 30 degrees worth of timing. Typically cruise timing at 66 MPH (2,000 RPM) is about 25 to 26 degrees of timing depending on engine load. You have been warned.
- This tune is built around 200℉ thermostat used in a 2012 Ram 6.7L engine. I'm running higher coolant temperatures. The intake temperature is better at around 80 to 140℉ coolant floats 204 to 208℉.
- Make sure the cruise timing is dropping out before 5 PSI of boost. If cruise timing is hanging too long it could blow a head gasket.
This tune has the best all-around daily driver tuning yet so far. It has a steep timing curve but the efficiency is the best so far and there are no ill effects on the engine even with nearly 500k miles on the clock. I've made several short trips around and even with climbing and running in the mountains, the amount of fuel to get to Boise is about 1/8 of a tank which is 180 mile trip one way.

What's New in Version 2024.11.1 See changelog
Released
A wider and deeper retard realm was added so launching the truck from light to light is much stronger. Even on level 3, I'm having issues with keeping the tires from spinning. Level 4 and up is just pure power and does get a bit hot for me but very quick to reach 100 MPH. I've seen retarding as deep as 8° BTDC and getting the full 30° BTDC at full 3,200 RPM. Engine Oil Temperatures are lower by just a few degrees pushing close to 35°F difference between oil and coolant now. Still right around 24° to 25° BTDC at 65 MPH and engine loads are slightly reduced. Lowest EGT's I've seen was 600°F at 82 MPH twisting 2,450 RPM in 5th Gear rolling down the I84 highway and heading home from medical appointments.
