Do I need custom tune with 3.55 gears?

[Tyler76]

Hi all!

I have Ram 1500 2013 8 speed with 3.55 gears, Trinity Diablo and perf 92 tune installed, so my 0-60 is 6.5 seconds now, will any custom tune from hemifevertuning.com help to make me faster, or the 3.55 gears will be my performance hindrance preventing me going faster than 6.5 seconds?

May be guys with 3.55 gears on 8 speed trans have any custom tunes, any improvements in 0-60?

Thanks!

More power = more speed regardless of your gear set, all other factors being equal. Most people around here talk pretty highly of the HF tune, so I would imagine you'd gain a little. How much you would gain over the tune you have now is probably hard to say, however.

Hemifever is not my preferred tuner but you will still gain a lot from his tunes over the diablo canned tunes. The gearing on a 8 spd isnt as much of a big deal like on the 6 spds.

I think your 355's and 8 speed are a good combo. HF isn't my tuner but your times will improve. A custom tune is by far one of the best mods I have done to my truck. You will not be disappointed

thanks, guys!

0-60 with 3.55's is going to be crappy regardless, but power is power, you will feel a difference with a pro tune. however with 3.55's it will pull like crazy over 65mph

Whos your prefered tuner now? I know we spoke about Seans tunes a while back. Just curious

He has a 8spd so his 0-60 is going to be great

Ah true story I missed that part haha

do you think I should change the gears?, I want to be as cool as HammerHead - "Proud member of the 4 second club"

LOL... You got the 8 speed, no gear swap needed in my opinion.
I was looking at your 6.5 and that seems a little off to me. Is you truck lifted, CC, big tires, ect????

 

[Tyler76]

yes, I have 35 wheels as well ) and what about 3,92 gears, not worth it for 8 speed?

 

[Graygoose]

With the 8 speed, I think the 3.55's are fine, wouldnt be a huge upgrade from 3.55 to 3.92.

+2... You have Plenty of gear with the 8 speed. Your bigger tires will hurt your times; I live in south east USA were there is never snow. My truck is a street truck running 305/50R20's street tires. So the smaller tires will run faster.

what about 4,10? not even an option for 8 speed though within manufacturer

 

[Graygoose]

if you plan to drag race it alot, yea, maybe. I wished I had 4.10's, and I have the 5 speed.

So, i've installed HF tune "91-Octane-hf" and the first run was 5.80 seconds 0-60! that's not bad!!!! I have to send Sean some logs, may be it would be even better

so the results
stock: 7.6 sec
diablo tune: 6.5 sec
hemifever: 5.8 sec

I have to mention that my truck does not look like a drag car )

 

[cableguy_hd]

definitly not what you see at a drag strip... but a nice truck you have

7.6 to 5.8 isn't too shabby for a ~$5-600 mod! Nice results

If you learned the correct way to tap shift it rather than leave it in drive it would be a 5.5 sec
