Tuning the LX570 after Magnuson supercharger install

[MTKID]

I've gotten in touch with YotaWerx and they are interested in tuning it, yay! By The Way, I want 1000 lb ft torque, not horsepower.

So many q’s…
1. Will you be shipping it to them in Texas?
2. Do they have a dyno they tune on?
3. Will they be working with a successful base tune from the Middle East or trying to work off of their own base tunes?
4. What power levels have they already been successful with on other 5.7’s?
I hadn’t heard of them before so I had to look them up, but I certainly want to see you succeed, whatever it takes

From what I was told by someone local that works with them, they were so excited by what I described, they want to build one at their Texas location and will do the tuning on it so I should be able to get a remote tune. Makes me so happy. I'm surprised that nobody had thought of it before. Would make one hella rock crawler, yeah? All about the torque, it would utterly smoke a Jeep, even one with a Hellcat.

Well, I don’t know how much that much torque would necessarily make for a better rock crawler. I think if you accomplish your goals with power you’ll be chasing the next weak links from the rear axles to the front diff especially if you have large, heavy tires that work best for rock crawling. But not to discourage you. I think the guys in the Middle East have figured out how to get that much power to the ground but not usually with as large of tires that we are trying to push forward with.

Overall, because they have accomplished it, I know it can be done here too, but I’d recommend having some budget for chasing those additional weaker parts that will need to be upgraded when they are found.

I didn’t catch what tire size you were hoping to run? 42’s, right

You missed street bruiser. I'm looking at going with 355x30 R19 Michelin Pilot Sport with 12x19 wheels. I will be adding locker difs. I'm sure I'll need axles too. Don't want her bunny hopping all over, struggling for traction, like you saw with the Dubai rig. Probably need a looser converter too. Torque is what makes usable power down low, horsepower is for when you're turning high RPMs. Horsepower wins bench racing, torque wins in real world.
