Does anyone happen to know how much the custom tunes are for a 2005?
Mornin'.

First - Tylus is the real deal and well-respected; he's also just trying to help and did not deserve that zinger.

Second - only PHP can provide custom tuning for Edge hardware; from their website: $30/per tune if you bought the hardware from them, $60/per tune if not. A great deal, either way.

Third - if he ran it on a dyno there should be recordings of the A/F's from a wideband in his possession - can you post them (and can you tell me which wideband he used)?

It depends on the hardware you wish to use. SCT products, check out 5 Star, VMP, and Troyer Performance. For the Edge/Gryphon, check out Power Hungry Performance. Then there is Diablo with a slightly different approach. They all have web sites explaining what they do and prices.

Yo - Joey;

Still waiting on that A/F data.

A dyno run will produce a graphical plot, and /or tabular data to allow one to assess the results of the runs.

Post 'em up.

BTW - were you not present??? I know I'd be if someone were flogging my truck WFO to redline to get open loop A/F data

Did I mention I used to have this intake? It sucks to have spent all that money on it and find out it's essentially worthless.

Here is a pretty picture of mine installed
purty ain't she?

If I had known at the time how dangerous it was, I would never have put it onto the truck. Especially as I lived in Washington state with lots of COLD DENSE AIR that even further affects the A/F ratio. I can only hope you live in a relatively dry/hot area.

Anyhoo, I eventually gave up playing with the small stuff and put on a Roush blower. Now that was money well spent



btw, since you had your truck on the dyno...what were your HP and TQ #'s? And can you post the graph showing the HP/TQ and the A/F ratio?
