The biggest thing I noticed was the transmission shifting. Everything seems tighter and shifts harder.

Shifting is probably the biggest frustration with the truck. Tranny has absolutely no urgency when it comes to down shifting.

Yep, me too. Tighter is the word. And much more responsive.
To be fair, I think the RCSB guys will obviously feel a much bigger difference than the QC 4x4 guys... What is the weight difference, 600lbs plus??
So if you figure horsepower to weight ratio (which I do not know how to figure), you will need quite a bit more to feel the same thing we feel.

Edit: the above post was the most vague, yet obvious thing I have said yet...

You sounded like you could have been running for mayor of Hemiville. :)

I noticed earlier tonight that a bolt is missing from my S&B intake lid, leaving a nice open hole and an insecure corner to my intake. I still haven't installed the HF tune back to the truck from when I reset the computer last, so my question is should I wait until I get a screw to put into the hole before reinstalling the tune? I don't know if the opening will effect my throttle response too much

As I was reloading the tune I kept getting the check engine light with "Service the electronic throttle response" message. This has never happened. Any ideas? After I loaded the tune and started the vehicle it went away.

Always. I've never shut the door when loading it. I do pull the key out of the ignition when it says to turn key off.

I even left the dome light on this time, and it never shut off like I expected it to.

Alright everyone that has a HF 93 tune loaded. I decided to look at the parameters to see what I can find. If you wouldn't mind seeing if your parameters are the same or different I would appreciate it.

High MPH HS Fan On = 193.99
Low MPH HA Fan On = 193.99

Cooling Fans AC On = 193.99

Idle:
Idle RPM AC Off in D = 0
Idle RPM AC Off in P/N = 0
Idle RPM AC On in D = 0
Idle RPM AC On in P/N = 0

Part Throttle Upshift:
1-2 at 15% APP = 1631.94
25% APP = 2015.93
33% APP = 2591.91
40% APP = 3647.88
60% APP = 5183.83
2-3 at 10% APP = 1816.91
20% APP = 1977.23
30% APP = 2030.67
40% APP = 2885.69
60% APP = 4969.80

RPM Shift Points:
1-2 RPM Upshift = 5850
2-3 RPM Upshift = 5850

Rev & Speed Limits:
Rev Limiter in Drive = 0
in Neutral = 0
Vehicle Speed Limiter = 185

Throttle:
Throttle Boost = 0

WOT Fuel:
WOT Fuel 1K-3.8K = 0
4K-4.8K = 0
5K-7K = 0

WOT Spark:
WOT MBT Spark 1K-3.8K = 0
4K-4.8K = 0
5K-7K = 0
WOT Spark 1K-3.8K = 0
4K-4.8K = 0
5K-7K = 0

Hope this helps explain why I'm having issues.

Pulled the trigger on a Trinity
Got it yesterday
Took one hour to install.
If i hadnt read the notes in this thread, it would have been a nightmare.
Luckily i did, had a good idea what to expect and everything went perfect. That Diablo "Quick Start" booklet is worthless!
I got the unit from Sean at HF and it came witht his basic tunes so i loaded his 91 octane and drove a tank of gas through it. in one day. It raised my gas milage average from 14.9 to 16 .7 and thats by hand calculation. and seat of the pants horsepower increase is noticeable.
Cant smoke my tires but runs great.
