The Revo needles are set to RICH from factory for the breakin process. You will need to tune to performance after the 5th tank. LEan the needle in 1/8 increments clockwise until performance increases. Make small changes and run the truck for a minute to ensure the excess fuel is completely burned out of the motor. Make more adjustments if necessary. The 3.3 motor will only get stronger as your tanks increase. This motor usually doesnt really start to wake up until after the first gallon. Try and keep your temps in the 220-250 range if you can.
