Do V-Force engine management piggybacks really work?

I am trying to do everything I can to make my truck fast short of getting a supercharger. I was wondering if those engine piggybacks really work or if they are a waste of money, ive done a lot of research and I keep finding mixed results, this is the specific one http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/par...ent/Engine_Management_Piggyback/V-Force/18091
if you have used it let me know what you thought about it

 

I have not used one, but i would think any kind of Tuner/Programmer/Engine Management that is claimed Universal, would not be that great of a deal.

also you may want to look at this

But i think the general conclusion on this site is that none really work on our trucks. Go Turbo or SC for the power your wanting.

 

Do a little searching, you will be wasting your money. There are no mods outside of a blower that will really net any real gains. Yes...headers, full exhaust and an intake will make more noise and a little bit of hp, for the price you probably won't even notice a difference.

Don't waste your money on bullydog (at least for our trucks).

Edit: What year is your truck?

 

I've messaged gadget at urd about there UCON product and he said it will work for non boosted trucks with different modes with different power levels.

Here is the thread were I post the emails he sent me about it.

I would do a BullyDog if you want a canned tune.

Doesn't it only get you 10 HP?

The UCON is suppose to give 60 HP on a race tune with Urd's full exhaust

 

Only reason i suggested Bullydog is it was a cheap option that is programmed to our trucks. URD does make great products but i would have a hard time spending $1400 on a computer mod.. Still URD and Bullydog are both under the price of a turbo or a SC

 

UCON is only plug and play with 2005 - 2009 models. Anything after and you have to splice into the main harness manually. I waited for two years for URD to update the harness connectors for newer models and I gave up waiting.

 

I've got a UCON. It's made some good HP for me but I'm still waiting on documentation, a tutorial or even an email of some hope to upload some a map or even tune the thing.

 

Did you pm gadget or email urd. Gadget surely can help you. Or call urd.
